The exception would be long course triathlon (1/2 and full ironman’s). In these instances, the heart rate monitor is used to limit your intensity so that you can perform on the run.<br /><br />During training and using a heart rate monitor, the conditions must always be a factor. You have to make adjustments to your heart rate zones. You simply cannot push the same pace at the same heart rate in super-hot conditions. <br /><br />When I do a long tempo run (hour +) I will use heart rate and pace as my guide. I will usually start low in whatever heart rate training zone and allow for a 5 – 10 beat heart rate creep while monitoring pace.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053030335037533161.post-65220933443056568582011-08-31T09:02:33.544-05:002011-08-31T09:02:33.544-05:00Very interesting!

How should this info influence our understanding of training within our HR zones on hot days...run/ride at a higher HR (planned pace) or dial it back?RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929558878182149734noreply@blogger.com
