WHY HEART RATE MONITORS
As a runner, you have probably been programmed to count the miles and live by the stopwatch. This is how runners have trained for years. The more miles the better and the faster the better. But the approach to training has been changing over the past several years.
Athlete turned coach Marcus O'Sullivan, who has run more sub 4-minute miles than anyone, credits heart rate for prolonging his career. He was a skeptic like many runners are today. But you can't argue with success. O'Sullivan now trains his collegiate athletes using the same technology that he once resisted and later adopted.
To understand how an HRM can help your running, we established the Polar 3 Point Message:
In order to reach your goals, you need to train at the right intensity.
Heart rate is the only accurate measurement of your intensity or your exertion level.
A Polar HRM is the easiest and most accurate way to continuously measure your heart rate.
If you're not using one, you probably know someone that does. You may have resisted until now, and hopefully that will end here. There are many different thoughts on how to get the most out of your running. The key to success is variety. Endurance workouts, tempo runs and AT intervals are at the heart of an effective program. A heart rate monitor is the one thing that can lead you through each one of those workouts, and give you the valuable feedback that can help you turn weaknesses into strengths, improve your fitness, or lose those last few pounds.
For fitness runners, you will benefit the most by running in a particular zone each day. For weight management, running in the 60-70% zone will help you burn fat and build endurance. Increase your fitness by doing tempo runs in the 70-80% zone. An HRM is not just for competitive runners. It can help any runner!
To prepare for competition, it's important that you build endurance, strength and speed. For endurance and recovery workouts, it paces you so you don't overdo it. For tempo runs, it keeps you on track. And for interval workouts, it makes sure you go hard enough and you recover when it's time. Nothing else can guide you that way. It can show you when you're dehydrating, or running out of nutrition, or not recovered from a previous days workout. It allows you to analyze workouts and races. Racing flats are great. But if you're not training right, you might as well be wearing work boots.
If you're very new to the concept of an HRM, you might be wondering WHAT'S AN HRM. It consists of a watch worn on your wrist, and a transmitter that you comfortably wear against your skin and around your chest. The transmitter picks up the signals of your heart, and sends them wirelessly to the watch you wear on your wrist. It's that simple. No wires, no taking your pulse and doing a multiplication equation. Just look at your wrist and it's there. AND THE KEY, IT'S DISPLAYED CONTINUOUSLY. The continuous display is what makes it effective. It's there to guide you during your entire run. Just like a coach with a clipboard and a bullhorn. Just as effective, but a little more subtle! -

beer?
beer provides potassium which is sorely lacking in most people...
but seriously, eat and drink a wide variety...
those fad diets do not work and will never ever work because mostly, they trick your body into doing something... like the Atkins diet, it works but may kill you or make you very unhealthy...
Jim Fixx was bloody fit.. but he was so unhealthy he died of a massive heart attack..
never equate fitness to health.. they are not the same thing...
apart from my many injuries, i would say i'm healthier than most..Originally posted by Faye Valentine:to ask bear to quit drinking? I wouldn't even bother to mention -

fitness and healthy is two different thing
U can smoke n drink but doing alot of work out.
So that makes one fit but not healthy
You eat alot of fruits n vege, cut down on oily food. But never exercise
So that makes one healthy but not fit

Mine is just below the upper threshold of the new "heathy" range.
I have a body fat % of 10%.
according to webby that i read, with the kind of fitness/training i am doing during the peak for KL Marathon, i should be having an ideal of 7% of body fat...
some folks just doesnt see the point.

I never run for 9 months liao... went jogging one early Sunday morning but only jogged for 1.6km and my left knee started aching and I stopped. Still am able to do short sprints but I ony do that when I'm catching the bus.
Now practise horse-stance, my left knee also give me problem. Had sprained my left knee, left ankles and right ankles before... most recent should be 2 or 3 years ago. Ankles had been giving me problem now and then since.
My meals during the past 4 months from Mon-Fri: breakfast- 2 slices of bread, one cup of milo with cereal (originally is same as lunch but I included milo with cereal into breakfast 1 month ago), lunch- 2 slices of bread, dinner- either chap cai peng ta pow from outside or anything my father cooked.
