Hey Running Friends! Today I'm continuing my series on the different kinds of runs and what the purpose o f each one is. This week I'm telling you about the long run. Resources from the episode: Blog Posts from The Wrinkled Runner Explaining Different Running Workouts Hydration for the Runner YouTube Videos from The Wrinkled Runner Hydration for the Runner Incorporating Different Running Workouts into Your Training UCAN Fueling for Long Runs Podcast Episodes from The Wrinkled Runner The Purpose of a Slow Run Using a Running Coach Hydration for Hot Runs Running Workouts Fueling for the Runner Website Recommendations: This weeks website- Runnin' for Sweets- How to Fuel a Long Run Last weeks website- Calculator Soup Heart Rate Zone Calculator- Do not use the age formula! Figure out your max heart rate (listen to the episode for various ways to do this, or do the test in the description of the episode above). At the top of the calculator there is a drop down menu that defaults to "Basic by Age", click the arrow and choose "Karvonen by MHR and RHR". Look at the data on whatever you use to measure your heart rate to find your resting heart rate (RHR) and plug in this and your max to find your percentages.
