Maffetone Heart Rate Training

And Lydiard.

As I wrote, these principles have been known in running for almost 100 years.

Do you really think that Lydiard got those principles out to the general public?

How many in this thread except you and me have ever heard about Lydiard's training principles?

Me

He also went for very high volume. Even his 800 runners. So yes, low intensity a lot, but far from easy. Plenty of speed later also.

Haven’t seen Hadd mentioned. Has Hadd anything to add?

Or Percy Cerutty?

I like his method of using heart rate drift to find the correct intensity for those runs, which are a bit faster than the easy runs. In theory, at least. In practice, it has become a standing joke that you will never be allowed to go beyond that stage, because you will never get you non-drifting intensity up where Hadd wanted it to be.

I do not like the Hadd test. Or rather his interpretation of it. The test itself I like a lot. He used the results to show that your low HR pace would come closer to your high HR pace if you did his training. However that part built on poor math - he obviously did not see the reciprocal relationship between speed and pace.

Well played, Allan.
