Tip 6 – Pulse Rate and
Exercise Design |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Once you have established the relationship between pace and pulse, you
can create exercises which will keep you in the desired range. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Furthermore, you can also find the relationship between pace and the
time it takes to recover to a certain pulse. This is useful when creating
interval exercises. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
As your conditioning improves, you will want to reestablish your
pulse-pace graphs and adjust your exercises accordingly. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
1 |
Pulse vs. Pace |
||
|
|
||||
|
|
|
Set a slow pace, run 300 or 400 meters and measure your pulse. Repeat
with slightly faster paces until you have a graph of pulse vs. pace. |
||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
2 |
Pace vs. Recovery Time |
|||
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
After you measure the first pulse, continue measuring pulse every
minute or so. This will give you a graph of pulse vs. recovery time. |
