It's always interesting to read different views. I like Allan's method and his ideology. Might be that it is not true physiologically. Still, I'm eager to continue his way to train. At least his method has helped many athletes to improve. My MHR is also quite low, 174. Might be why I like to train in LHR and why I see it beneficial. I would still say it is worth to try. If it do not good for you can always revert to your original training method. It is nice to see that original poster has found our lovely community in Low Heart Rate Training. Maybe I should put this topic up there.

as I see this:

1) the *actually measured* MHR *can* and *will* become lower if you build a very good aerobic base so good *relatively* that your muscles can't push you into fully anaerobic mode anymore even though your body would physically be capable of reaching the original high MHR - then you may need anaerobic speedwork, well, according to the theory.

2) a high MHR does not *automatically* mean that your MAF will be higher too; I wanted to believe that it means that (my MHR is well over 200) but then I talked to a friend who also trained at a low HR and whose MHR was 208 before he started building a big aerobic base. now he can't really push it over 190. he can easily do great fast runs at 140bpm now. something that seemed impossible previously (same for me, seems impossible right now). oh and of course he's doing speedwork now.

I have no idea what any of the first post means, but I doubt it would indicate a need to see a cardiologist.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

So wordy this time Trent. Last time the OP just got "Huh?" from you

One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.

Does anybody else find it strange that somebody bumped this car wreck of a thread exactly 2 years to the day after its last post? And I don't mean strange in a good way.

Maybe.

If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila
