A training plan w/set Heart rate ranges for workouts?

[thom]

I've got a Heart Rate training book I'm trying to use to put together my marathon plan, but it's a bit more technical & heavy than I expected.

I'm really just looking to see what % of max HR I should be doing each run at. I don't always wear my monitor, but at least for speed work & long runs it would be helpful. I think I'm finally getting the hang of what an "easy" heart rate run feels like, but the monitor helps keep me honest.

Just wondering if anyone has recommendations or a plan/book to share? I have a feeling a coach would be most useful for this type of thing, but I'm not ready for that type of $ commitment.

I think joenali did a lot of HR training when she was training for IM

Pfitzinger talks about this in his books.

My husband also has tips on his blog for where your heart rate should be during certain types of runs:

I will check out the link; thank you! I don't know about Pfitizinger other than I thought it would be too advanced for me. Maybe I should give it a look..

You can handle Pfitz, he has training plans that are less than 50 miles a week for sane people.  Road Racing for Serious Runners is a good book to ease into, but Advanced Marathoning is a scary book
