Correct. I try not to do long slow runs, that doesn't mean to say I haven't in the past and at times still do if running for a long time. However I try not to do many. Much prefer long steady runs and definitely with HR above 50-60 %. As far as recovery runs go I either rest, walk or bike. As I mentioned earlier I use my Garmin to give me statistics of my run and then use them as an aid to my next run. Once the watch is on I tend not to look at it again until I'm back home. Surely though being able to see how fast, far, long and high you have run, the intensity of effort you have put in at stages of your run, points at which you have run well and badly can only be a good thing - and these are the basics that watches do! Or is it just me??Originally Posted by TheReverand
from a very different school of thought to myself there m8no recovery runs? Long slow runs a waste of time? HRM essential?crikey I dont own a watch nevermind a HRM!!, suppose even within running we are all so different
