Figure out your max heart rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I said we&#8217;re going to keep this simple &#8212; the easiest, most common approach to estimating your max is &#8220;220 minus your age.&#8221;\u00a0 So if you&#8217;re 30, your theoretical max is 190.\u00a0 This method isn&#8217;t very accurate, but it&#8217;s a start.<\/p>\n<p>Better is to use an online calculator to compute your max using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.briancalkins.com\/HeartRate.htm\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Karvonen formula<\/a>.\u00a0 For this, you&#8217;ll need to know your resting heart rate, which you can determine by taking your pulse before you get out of bed in the morning and counting the number of beats in a minute.<\/p>\n<p>And if you really get into this whole thing, there are workouts designed to take your heart rate to its max.\u00a0 But that&#8217;s beyond what we&#8217;re trying to do here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Your &#8220;Easy&#8221; intensity is 65 to 70 percent of your max heart rate. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Easy zone is where you&#8217;ll want to stay on the days between hard workouts, and during any rests you take during those harder workouts.<\/p>\n<p>As I said above, if you&#8217;ve never tried this before, you&#8217;ll probably find that you have to go <em>really<\/em> slow (like, embarrassingly so) to keep your heart rate below 70 percent of your max.\u00a0 To compute that threshold, just multiply your theoretical max by .7.<\/p>\n<p>On the days between your hard workouts, run at Easy pace for a while.\u00a0 What&#8217;s a while?\u00a0 20 minutes, 40 minutes, an hour&#8230; whatever time and fitness will allow.\u00a0 Remember, you shouldn&#8217;t be exerting much effort on Easy days.\u00a0 The point is to build your aerobic base while letting your body recover for your next hard workout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Shoot for a &#8220;Hard&#8221; intensity of 80-90 percent of your max.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On workout days, you&#8217;ll want to run faster than Easy pace.\u00a0 Two to three hard workouts per week is what I find works best.<\/p>\n<p>Truthfully, in serious HRM training, there are different &#8220;Hard&#8221; training zones.\u00a0 And 80-90 is a pretty wide range.\u00a0 But having just one Easy zone and one Hard zone helps to simplify the whole thing, and this two-zone approach worked well for me during the training for my first successful marathon.<\/p>\n<p>If you stay at the lower end of this range, at around 80 percent of max heart rate, you&#8217;ll probably be able to sustain that pace for a few miles or even an entire workout.\u00a0 And if you&#8217;re a beginner, that might be all you&#8217;re looking for in terms of difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer higher intensity, aim for the top of this range.\u00a0 There, you&#8217;ll undoubtedly need to throw in Easy rest intervals, as it&#8217;s hard to maintain a 90 percent intensity for more than a few minutes, if that.<\/p>\n<h3>That&#8217;s all you need to get started<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve intentionally left the workouts vague.\u00a0 The point is to make it so that you can still feel like you&#8217;re just &#8220;lacing up your shoes and hitting the trail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On easy days, stay below 70 percent.\u00a0 On hard days, run in the 80-90 percent zone for a few minutes, then take a break and run easy for a bit.\u00a0 Or take a favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/track-workouts\/\">interval workout<\/a> and do that with your heart monitor, noting where your heart rate is throughout the workout and making sure you can fully recover to less than 70% intensity between each set.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to go further with it, there are plenty of resources on the web. Mark Allen has an interesting article where he relates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markallenonline.com\/maoArticles.aspx?AID=2\">heart rate training<\/a> to teaching your body to burn fat for fuel.\u00a0 And Blaine has an interesting post about another <a href=\"https:\/\/news.runtowin.com\/2010\/05\/04\/hrm-training-zones.html\">method of calculating training zones<\/a> at Run to Win.<\/p>\n<p>For more detail, a really simple (but good) book on the subject is John L. Parker&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Heart-Monitor-Training-Compleat-Idiot\/dp\/0915297256\">Heart Monitor Training for the Compleat Idiot<\/a>.\u00a0 That&#8217;s the first book I read about heart rate training, and it&#8217;s still the simple approach I like best.<\/p>\n<h3>And finally, the giveaway!<\/h3>\n<p><strong>This giveaway is now closed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-31956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/yhst-39130775443729_2147_6432279.gif\" alt=\"Polar heart rate monitor\" width=\"242\" height=\"258\" \/>Your reward for making it this far into a really long post (ironic, considering it&#8217;s supposed to be &#8220;minimalist&#8221;): a chance to win a Polar heart rate monitor!<\/p>\n<p>Heart Rate Monitors USA is giving away a Polar FS1 heart rate monitor to a lucky NMA reader!\u00a0 Heart Rate Monitors USA is a site that sells monitors from Polar, Garmin, Timex, and more, as well as other sports and wellness equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the reviews, it looks like the FS1 is a basic heart monitor without a bunch of confusing features&#8230;which makes it all the more suited to the minimalist runner.\u00a0 All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, March 15, and I&#8217;ll announce the winner later in the week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a favorite heart rate monitor workout?\u00a0 Share it in the comments below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This post is part of a series of posts designed to teach you <a href=\"..\/how-to-run-long\/\">how to run long<\/a> and strong.\u00a0 Go check out the rest!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve never tried training with a heart rate monitor, I can&#8217;t really blame you.
