Does my running count in the Cooper point system if my heart rate is in the anaerobic zone?
I have just found the point system. It might be good to set as a goal for regular exercise for fitness, I just don't know if my intensive 10-20 minute runs count in, during of which my heart rate is above 160.
I highly recommend using a heart rate monitor. Learning to run at correct efforts is very important for workout recovery and fast race times.
One disadvantage of a heart rate monitor is trying to get to the desired heart rate too fast. Learning to use perceived effort in addition to the heart rate monitor will improve you times quite a bit.
I have learned through trial and error what heart rates to use for each race distance. A good rule of thumb is to learn what the corresponding pace feels like and then find out the heart rate associated with this pace.
I try to start each race on the lower range of my desired heart rate and then as I reach mid point in the race I will pick up the pace to the higher end of my heart rate range. I save my all out effort for the last mile of a race.

A common mistake when using heart rate monitors is the belief that you must give 100% effort right from the beginning of a workout or race. Learning to use a heart rate monitor and effort based training will actually cause you to train more effectively and race faster.
