Heart rate and running

Lots of good things come from training with a heart rate monitor. The starting point to determine your Zones is to find your maximum heart rate. There are some good calculators online and I suggest that you NOT use 220 minus your age. There is a fairly significant difference in heart rates between Males and females and the 220-age does not take this into account.

I just stumble across this one which seemed to work well
