Sports Heart Rate Monitor – How do I improve heart rate for half marathon training?
How do I improve heart rate for half marathon training?
I am beginning training for my first half marathon. The longest I've ever run before is 6.2 miles and I've never run longer than an hour at a clip.
I borrowed a friend's heart rate monitor and find that while running 3 miles, my heart rate averages about 165 and peaks at around 172-175 on hills, etc.
I am 37 years old and have a resting heart rate (when I wake up) of 55 or so. All the generic heart rate zones say I should be training between 138 – 154 for my aerobic zone and 154 – 170 for anaerobic zone.
What can I do to improve my conditioning so I'm able to run at a decent pace but stay in my aerobic zone during long runs? Obviously I can't run 2+ hours in my anaerobic zone.
Thanks for your feedback!
