By on Friday, May 7th, 2010 | No Comments

There can be a lot of reasons for shoulder cramps and shoulder pain when you are running, some which aren’t very serious and some that are very serious.

How Do You Calculate Training Zones With a Heart Rate Monitor?

By on Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 | 3 Comments

As a runner, heart rate monitors are great devices that can help you train because they let you know when you are working too hard or not running hard enough. They aren’t fooled by weather, terrain or your level of fatigue going into a workout; they know exactly how hard you are working at any given moment no matter the conditions. The problem, of course, is how do you interpret what you are being told? Having a pulse of 165 beats per minute may be an all out sprint for one person but could be a leisurely jog for somebody else. Here are a few methods to determine your best training zones on any given day.
