A month ago I usually ran 10-15 km during trainings at average pace (5:10) with average heart rate (145 bpm).

Then I had two weeks break.

I returned to trainings and now I can maintain previous average pace with heart rate of 154 bpm.

How could it be that I lost my fitness shape or running technique so fast? I can't understand my body.

Good afternoon.

Cardiovascular system is the main system that defines functional capabilities of your body. Positive changes of this system require time and proper methodical approach. If you want to see real results after improvement of hemodynamics (increase of stroke volume and minute volume leading to a heart rate reduction), several months of trainings organized properly can be required. At the same time, return to your initial state can happen very quickly.

Therefore, it's very easy to understand your body. A heart rate increase after renewal of trainings is an absolutely normal response of your body to the absence of cardio load. But I assure you that the higher the basic level and training experience the shorter period of return to a good form.

Morning vs Evening: What is the Best Time To Run?
Question:

Suppose it is very popular question you hear from a beginner.

I have time to run both in the morning and in the evening (I have flexible hours and I like to sleep). I can't run early in the morning because I feel like my body is still sleeping. If I run at my average pace, heart rate during running will be 165 beats per minute in the morning and 150-155 in the evening. So, I can conclude that my body is warmed up enough in the evening and "sleeps" in the morning. Is it true?

Thanks for your reply.

2 Trainings a Day: Should I Slow Down?
Question:

Good afternoon, Oleg.

My name is Eldar, I'm in Turkey now.

I started running  a month and a half ago and I'm good at it: I run 10 km in 37 minutes.

I've registered for the Istanbul marathon for 10 km.

I run 10 km 2 times a day, in morning and evening. Should I limit the frequency and long of training before the soon start of the marathon?

First Marathon at Age 55
Question:

Good day.

I'm 55 and I've been running for a long time, my usual distance is 10-15 km and 21 sometimes. My average pace is 6:15 min/km. I do interval running sometimes as well.

Now, I want to run my first marathon. Is it enough to run 10-15 km every other day at a slow pace without ambition (I can talk during running) or is it advisable to move on?

Thank you.
