Hey folks, I'm new here, my name is gordon from bonie scotland, I only started running about a year ago, before that i wasn't very fit at all, ate rubbish, smoked 20 a day and i have asthma so when i first started to run and couldnt run 20 meters without being out of breath, any how to cut this a short i now run 3 to 5 times a week and i'm currently running 4 miles each time in roughly 40 mins which i'm quite happy with although of course i want to get this down, anyway I'm getting into heart rate training but i'm a little confused about the zones, i ran last week, it took me 38 mins, my heart rate average was 167, i ran today at a slighlty slower pace, it took me 42 mins, my average heart rate was 158, that to me doesnt seem like much of a drop. is the heart rate percentage from 0 to max heart rate or is it resting heart rate to max heart rate? I just need to know i'm in the right zone.
Thanks for any advice
