Saturday, September 24, 2005 Easy trainingI was over at Anne Margrethe Hausken's web page reading about her training leading up to the World Cup races in Italy. I was struck by how easy a lot of her running training seems to be.Hausken runs with a h.r. monitor and recorded her average and max heart rates for her sessions during the last week. This isn't all of her training for the week (if you can read Norwegian, you can see the whole week): Monday's 30 minute run: average h.r. 111 Tuesday's 80 minute run: average h.r. 105 (max 117) Wednesday's 30 minute run: average h.r. 113 Wednesday's 90 minutes of O' technique: average 98 (max 128) Friday's 75 minute run: average h.r. 108 (max 124) Saturday's 30 minute jog: average h.r. 106 Sunday's 125 minutes of O' technique: average h.r. 114 (max 131) That adds up to 7:40 at an average heart rate of 108. This isn't all of Hausken's training for the week. For example, she has some interval sessions and some cross training. When I first saw the averages, I thought they seemed very low and wondered if Hausken has something unusual about her heart rate (like a very hard session being at an unusually low rate). But, I don't think that is the case. On her training page she breaks down her heart rate levels: Very high: 173-186 (max) High: 160-172 Moderate: 135-160 Low: 100-135 My guess is that he heart rate average for an O' race would be in the 165-170 range in most cases. posted by Michael | 12:03 PM
