You weak kid. How much you weigh
After making some research concerning my heart rate, I found this (a 34 year old man with 177-190 bpm) and this (a 17 year old boy with 175 bpm). It seems that there is no standard HRmax and it depends on people.
Another reason I have higher than average HRmax because when I was young, I did a lot of swimming workouts. I liked to force myself to 240bpm even my coach said to limit the heart rate as 190. Maybe 240 is not correct because I didn’t have heart rate monitor, I just multiplied the number of pulse in 10s by 6, so maybe it’s not 240 but the heart rate was not below 220.
PS: The two websites have a lot of helpful articles.
If you have 240bpm, the device is sending an error to the receiver, or you have Ventricular tachycardia.
i didnt use any device, I said I just multiplied the pulse number in 10s by 6 to obtain HR per minute.
I’m reading the book Anatomy for runners, Jay Dicharry, the best book for runners I have ever read. I’ll finish it this week. I highly recommend it.
Concerning the method of training I did when I was young, it’s suicide. The information from internet made me afraid, I could have a heart attack. Hopefully I still have good health now.
I’d made an earlier post about the sub-2 hour marathon attempt where the guy averaged 4:35 and change a mile (2:18 half pace) for 26 miles.
Quick update - one goal down already as I finished a half marathon in under 2 hours this weekend. Coach KMD’s the real deal.
wow that’s like a beginner if you did a sub 2
Thanks!
Certainly can’t take all the credit. 
Been just as fun as I thought it would be though.
What did your training look like? Typical weekly mileage? Speed workouts?
He has been training for a 10k and doing 20-25 miles a week. He has been doing long runs to support that goal. He has natural talent for long distances so I had him try a half marathon as a training run to see how it went. After a mixup in communication he freaking ran that bitch for time! LOL…wait till he actually has the milage and training to support racing that distance!
^What she said. I actually got north of 30 miles over the last few weeks and was well over 100 for the month of August. Mixture of speedwork, hills, tempo, long runs, and easy runs.
Good stuff! I’m doing a half in a few months, want to eventually train up for something longer through the winter. Next few weeks are the best weather ever though.
I’ve used various training plans – and in my opinion Hanson’s was by far the best that I’ve encountered.
Speaking of marathon running, two distinct thoughts crossed my mind as I realized I was going to break 2 hours during my run:
-
Wow if I can run a half marathon this fast on my first try, I have a realistic shot of breaking 4 hours for a full marathon some day
-
No way I could ever run a marathon given how every single muscle in my body is in absolute pain after only 13 miles
thats pretty impressive, good job.
you should throw some munis at KMD for her assistance
She doesn’t get the tax benefits living in PA, otherwise yeah.
???
Probably NY state munis.
a 2 hour half marathon even on a first try is not impressive. do you get it brah?
