Re: "Working your heart" 180-Age has no health/medication adjustments ?

Will do.

My weekend ''long'' run is 6.25miles/10k and ends with a HR of around 124, but (and this is ...

"Working your heart" 180-Age has no health/medication adjustments ?

Your great article ''Working Your Heart'' uses the 180-Age formula, but it does not include any of the adjustments for health/medications that Phil Maffetone originally included.

Re: Training volume

Thanks for the post and the interest into our coaching and training plans. Your question is a good one because many people only have so much time to train etc. Plus there are many programs out there that promise you say 15 hours per week. However, we can not promise you a program with a certain number of hours. We feel that training for it ...

Re: Maintenance/Base

First let me say that base work is done year round even on weeks when you do speed work. However there are periods when you do strictly base work.

This questions comes up here ...
