'straight off the wood' .. the easy run HR looks too high
EASY and the talk test are related, however a person could still talk and try to maintain the pace at the same time, not slowing the tempo down
as mentioned on our Beginner 5k program
Talk Test
The TALK TEST is the best way to monitor yourself while jogging/running. If you are not able to talk to someone while running then you are exercising too quickly. Slow down to a talk.
I can tell you that once you go through the training cycles and we get more feedback from you, then we will know for certain
most of the users of the programs easy run is around 130 bpm
another 'rule of thumb' we use is that you take your 10k time and from you pace, 1km average pace, so if 4 minutes per k, we then add 1 minute to this to make it 5 minutes per k, and this is your pace for anything up to 1hr running (or 15km) , thereafter for 90 minutes and above you add another 30 seconds per km, this will give you (from our example) a pace of 5.30 per k for the LONG RUNS
hope this helps and doesn't confuse
