RE: Running the morning after the pub session

yeah its all around your max heart rate which is easy to figure out after a couple of runs. Do 75% of max and try and hold it there. Next day do 50%. Then day after up to 80%. There are many plans around that are available but I've been running for years and that method is fairly solid. My next door neighbour is a marathon running and he does a marathon in 2:15. Uses this method. It's funny. At first you will struggle to hold your heartrate at a certain percentage. But after a while the line will be horizontal.
