Run Four - Moorland Run

Well tonight was the night to check out my max heart rate, so off I went for 55min run (Ingra Tor, Leedon Tor, Sharpitor, Peek Hill). Got nearly back to the car and nice little hill to do some hill reps. Managed to get my heart rate up to 178, now I am not sure whether that is good or bad so I will have to investigate more, here are my training zones.

Zone Heart Rate Benefits

Aerobic 1 115-133 Increased base aerobic conditioning, fat burning ability and general endurance.

Aerobic 3 151 -167 High intensity aerobic exercise, enables the body to become accustomed to working at high aerobic intensity.
