[RC] Heart rate vs legs, starting out - A. Perez"If I was just getting a horse started I wouldn't be worried about heart rates. I'd be worried about legs." I can relate to this on a very personal level: many years ago I decided to take up jogging. Getting past the 'out-of-breath' phase seemed the hardest, and once I got past that I ran daily.... until I wound up with a stress fracture: it was too much to fast for my bones, even though my cardio/vascular.respiratory system was fine. The nice thing about heart rate is there is a nifty little gizmo (hrm) that gives you a nice, unabiguous number... but how to tell if the legs are holding up? Other than swelling or obvious lameness, how to tell what's too much? Any guideleines for how slowling to increase mileage or speed when starting training? ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
