far to high, could have heart isuess

general rule of thumb, is subtract your age from 220

Anyone ever done “Zone 2” training. Starting doing some this week but it seems weird. Max heart rate will be 128 for me and apparently it’s proven science to increase fitness. Not convinced it will 

How are you measuring your heart rate?

If it's by using a running watch rather than a heart rate monitor it's not likely to be very accurate - mine occassionally tells me I've hit 200.

You might be better off using the Tinman calculator and running by pace.

Obviously, any Zone 2 runs would be run at the "Easy" pace.

70% and 60% of max heart rate (183)

He picks and chooses, he’s usually doing some mad fitness event at weekends. He’s just absolutely beasted me. Was close to being sick. 🥵

What’s the protocol for if you get back early each hour? Is there somewhere to keep warm, fuel up, etc? Have you got a support team?

I just need to focus on getting my knee right. Can’t run pumped with painkillers hoping for the best and unable to actually train. I 100% need to start yoga or Pilates.

Good luck. 48 miles in 12 hours. Sounds rough! What’s the elevation for each loop?

I’ve got National 3 Peaks end of April. Hiking as opposed to running. Though I’m going to take my trail shoes just in case I get the urge! Not too concerned about the big lumps we’ve got to get up, more worried about my inability to sleep whilst in transit.

My mate does backyard ultras. 

He broke the world record ran for 334 miles and 75 hours in 2021 

Got a DNF as he came 'second' which isn't a thing.

World record has been broken a few times since.

No. Never heard of it. Will do some digging around.

On the remote chance that anyone is interested, my night time fell race is coming up soon. Places still available:

I led a reccie run of it last night. That hurt.

I'm doing the Anglezarke Amble 24 miler on Saturday. That's really going to hurt.

5 miler in the dark looks good! Did the Rivington Petzl one the other week, my first night race.

Former poster off here came 1st in the AA short 16 miler on Saturday I believe.

I managed just under 18 miles and over 4,000ft on Tuesday morning, up early, sunrise run from Hayfield around Cracken Edge, Mount Famine, Brown Knoll, Kinder and Lantern Pike. Was tough!

That's a worry. I had a minor heart attack almost 20 years ago and am therefore on the usual daily drugs to keep my heart under control including ace inhibitors and beta blockers but I'm a generation older than the bloke you mention and whilst I don't run run (because of my knees and other aches and pains) I still do a lot of sport including footie twice a week with 20 to 30 year olds and I'm quick over 5 yards Anyhow because of my debauched lifestyle I needed to lose a couple of stone after Xmas - lost one playing tennis for 4 to 5 hours a day in Jamaica in January and then plateaud when I got back so have started back at the gym etc. Yesterday, after a lung-bursting hour on a cross trainer where I was pissing sweat and burning nearly 800 calories (according to the machine) my heart rate peaked at 138. OK the measurement isn't the best, but was wondering if serious runners would consider taking  beta blockers and ace inhibitors just to make sure they don't peg it? My late dad used to do a lot of marathons and he had to watch his mate collapse and die in front of him so I know it can happen - so why not take precautions?

Only just reading this. Bizarrely I’ve been in hospital this morning having an ECG, blood tests and chest x-ray after suffering from severe pains on the left side of my chest. Actually had my first ECG at home in the kitchen from Ambulance crew just 5 mins after I’d spoke to someone on the 111 line. Got the all clear, so not sure what the pains are, still getting them even now. But doctors were confident my heart and lungs plus arteries were all in good shape.

Are beta blockers and ace inhibitors something you can just readily buy and take without prescription?

I wouldn't have thought so, propranolol and similar are what you'd want but they, although a pretty mild stimulate, would need to be prescription. Maybe an online pharmacy would do it. They are primarily for panic attacks and such like.
