Tri training going well Richard, not sure I like the idea of minus sox tho 😄

Wow nice one Richard well done, how did the legs feel after the bike? I’m reading Lousie Minchin’s book at the moment, and she was saying the first time she did it; her legs were like cement and a 5k run was pure hell for her

Great brick session Richard, must have felt a bit weird running without socks 😊

I looked up about socks or no socks I won’t to get through transition on the triathlon as quick as possible, having done a duathlon about 3 years ago I messed up a bit and cost time. Bike no socks was fine after running feet a little sweaty 😷but for 5k I can get away with it.
Louise Minchin is fantastic at what she does now a days. Done brick s…[Read more]

bet it felt odd no socks? a good run after the cycle

Are the hr zones the garmin ones or have you changed them? If they are the Garmin ones then they might be too low and you’d need to do a max hr test to get the proper readings but as you say if you’re not enjoying it you’ve got to work with what feels best for you. Sounds like you’ve been busy with the training for the tri and good luck for Sunday 🙂

I find HR training quite hard to follow too, places are slow but they’re supposed to get better as you stick with it. Anyway, my HR battery has died on me, and I’ve yet to replace it, so back to pace training.

A good 8 though Richsrd, and don’t worry about being busy, it happens!

Good luck with the tri too. I’m off for a swim in a bit, I love…[Read more]

As a newbie to HR training i totally get how you felt, it does slow you down but im hoping to see the benefits in my favour? got a bit on so maybe try it again ince your tri and mara are done? well done on the 8 plus 😊

Well done Richard. I’ve recently had this HR stuff foisted upon my by virtue of a new Garmin watch. I guess I need to work it all out, but like you say … its difficult not to just run in a way you are comfortable/prefer.

I have been running with watch a couple of months my natural running pace sits in Zone 4 in zone 2 was a slow jog. Thanks all but yes Lizzy may have a go after tri and HM

HR training isn’t for everyone – you need a good plan, a lot of discipline and a hefty dose of patience when you start, plus you need to do the tests to find the right zones for you. Good steady 8 there though – look forward to seeing how the Tri goes 👍👏

Fab miles Richard no use talking to me about HR zones im afraid 😄😄

I’m with you Richard I tend to run to what I perceive as fast or steady not HR, I occasionally wear HR but don’t have it visible on my watch so only know when I download the run. Anyway it looks a good run to me pace and mileage wise well done you

I haven’t got to grips with this HR training either! I’m also training for a tri and struggling with the swimming. What distance are you doing? Looking forward to seeing how you get on. Nice running today 👍

Emma it’s a 400m swim 11.5 mile bike and 5k run

Sounds like tri training is going well, well done

Which HM are you doing? I can imagine that running in zone 2 would seem painfully slow to you!

It’s West Lancashire summer triathlon at Edge Hill University Ormskirk, doing this with my son. Yes I found zone 2 to slow for me, but thought I would give it a go may have another go after the tri and HM.

I’m not trying to get to grips with hr training, just want to run at the mo. Got to say it makes a run log quite hard to read so please everything put in the eventful stuff too 🤣

Nice mix up of all kinds there Richard. Well done

Set you up nicely for work! Sounds like it was a great session.

Hoping you mean the time was tight not your muscles 🙂 Nice one Richard \;0

Sounds a good session, well done!

Good session before work Richard, sounds like you just about managed to squeeze it in 🙂

Sounds a great mixed session and well squeezed in to a busy schedule – well done 🙂

Very well squeezed in pre work. Good job

Sounds a hard session before work too, dedication that 😊

A cracking run before work , hope you had some energy for work 🙂

Fantastic effort before work!

A good session, well done 🙂
