Honza goes running
One of the benefits of Suunto's Training Manager software is the ability to overlay graphs of similar training sessions and analyse the difference in performance between each session.
Honza Rejmanek (USA) regularly runs a standard 15km route, maintaining a similar average speed. You might think that his heart rate (HR) and Training Effect (TE) would also be similar, but the graph below showing three separate sessions on the 15km course indicates how they can vary.
Note that while his average speed changes very little (13.1, 13.2 or 13.3km/h), his average heart rates were 163, 153 and 158bpm. Consequently, his TE was 4.8, 4.0 and 4.3.
"The 4.8 reflects a hard day at work!" Says coach Eddie Fletcher. "It really illustrates why it is better to train HR to make sure TE doesn't go too high and cause recovery issues."
"Listen to your heart," advises Eddie.
