[QUOTE="Smokin Joe, post: 83983, member: 18130"] Thanks for all of your inputs! That is some great info. Yes I am a desk jockey for the most part and that definitely does not help. :think: The last time I went running, I periodicaly checked my pulse. First of all, it certainly reinforced my realization of being out of shape in that I did not see much of a drop in heart rate between my pulse at the top of the hill and compared to my pulse after coming downhill and then along the flat. The suprising thing to me tho is that I am pretty near being in the anerobic zone during the whole run once I have pushed up the first hill. I am 42 and using the standard, easy method of finding max heart rate puts it at 220 - 42 = 178. Well, at the top of the hill I measured about 170 to 175 bpm and the minimum I ever counted was 160 bpm. I remember in my younger days that I would be at 200 bpm after coming up this hill in my woods run that was at least 1/3 of a mile long. Does running at that high of heart rate defeat the purpose of jogging to gain aerobic fitness? Anyhow, I'm now going to concentrate on weight training at an interval pace to keep my heart rate in the "golden zone" of 75% max heart rate. Then when I run (I really should say jog! :confused: ) I'll keep the intensity down. BTW, I still haven't heard from the trainer so I'm sorta winging it. Again I appreciate your comments, suggestions and support! :cool: Joe [/QUOTE]
