Marks madness by markstreet

Hi to all hope you are enjoying holidays if not working. I have been cross training on my bike over the hols as my knees are playing up as well as my lower back! And I haven't hit the real program yet! The foggy cold weather has not helped has it along with too many temptations in the kitchen. My new heartmonitor has been brilliant, the only problem is that I seem to be running at 90 percent of my maximum heart rate all the time, which is rather scary. Did an hour and ten minutes on Saturday and couldn't keep it down to 160 I did 56 minutes at 170. Being 45 years of age but only weighing in at 80 kilos at 1,88mtrs tall I think I have a poor heart for my age or I need to slow down considerably. All advice gratefully recieved.

Keep on running.

Mark
