However, I don't really recommend that, especially in the beginning. The beeping will cause your nerves to spike your heart rate! Haha. And the chances are, when you first start heart rate training, you'll find yourself at too high of a heart rate very frequently until you get used to Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534758066038264937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-16556499914799377672021-10-14T00:20:06.075-04:002021-10-14T00:20:06.075-04:00Hi Katie!

Is there a way to set up the range on your heart rate monitor and have it beep when you go higher or lower? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I’ve never run with a heart rate monitor going, I’ve just used my watch for mileage.

I'm struggling to embrace the MAF method. I live in a suburb of Denver, so altitude is a factor for my HR. Also, I live in a hilly neighborhood, so again, my HR climbs quickly. Basically, every time I try MAF training, I can barely run, and mostly only power walk. I get so discouraged. My MAF zone is 128-138, and it doesn't take Stephanie Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349741368039622110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-43526264807568103772021-10-12T22:32:18.041-04:002021-10-12T22:32:18.041-04:00I recently did your 1/2 marathon plan and loved it...I recently did your 1/2 marathon plan and loved it. My 5th one, and I had a 4 minute PR! Even better, I really grew to love running for both stress relief and exercise. I got the 80/20 Matt Fitzgerald book based on your recommendation and love it. Currently training for a 10k based on his plan. Thank you for leading me to it!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793100908611165629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-53891960897886322622021-10-12T16:49:01.093-04:002021-10-12T16:49:01.093-04:00I'm so glad you posted this!

The other day, a friend asked me to walk a hill with her, and it was so much harder than I thought it would be, but I also loved how I felt for the rest of the day. I'm doing it on my own right now so that I won't slow her down as much next time. I was wondering today what would help me trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688001590373132381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-41676144850793920902021-10-12T11:04:06.775-04:002021-10-12T11:04:06.775-04:00I feel the same way about running.

It's made running so much more fun and, hey! No injuries lately. Oops. Did I say that out loud. Hope I didn't jinx myself. But it's good stuff. I love that you wrote this all down, hypomanic or not.Nita Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297795209485650924noreply@blogger.com
