Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2007
Event Date: 28/10/2007

I've signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand. By donating through my webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.

About my heart:

My resting heart rate is 37
My maximum heart rate is 196
My lactic threshold is 184

I do the vast majority of my running in the aerobic conditioning zone of 128-155 beats per minute and anerobic conditioning in the 155-172 zone. Once a week I do a supposedly "comfortably hard" threshold hold run in the 172-184 zone.

Once a week I give my heart a really hard work out with intervals which push my heart rate up to between 184 and 192 bpm for 5 minutes at a time and once a week repititions that take my heart rate to its max briefly.

For the Auckland Half Marathon I'm aiming to run at a pace that keeps my heart rate between 178 and 184 bpm. Maybe a couple of surges above that will be necessary on some of the grunty hills.

That's the heart work I'll be doing. I would love you to show your heart and help me to support the National Heart Foundation.

Many thanks for your support. Now my heart just has to be strong enough for the run!

Mike
