#Note/Permanent #Health/Exercise/Running/Metrics
Based on my personal age, weight, and heart rate zones, here are the recommended running metrics for different types of runs:
Easy Runs:
- Average Heart Rate: 127-158 bpm (Zone 2)
- Cadence: 160-170 steps per minute
- Vertical Oscillation: 8-10 cm
- Ground Contact Time: 250-300 ms
- Stride Length: 0.9-1.1 m
Tempo Runs:
- Average Heart Rate: 158-174 bpm (Zone 3)
- Cadence: 170-180 steps per minute
- Vertical Oscillation: 7-9 cm
- Ground Contact Time: 200-250 ms
- Stride Length: 1.1-1.3 m
Half Marathon Race:
- Average Heart Rate: 174-190 bpm (Zone 4)
- Cadence: 180-190 steps per minute
- Vertical Oscillation: 6-8 cm
- Ground Contact Time: 180-220 ms
- Stride Length: 1.2-1.4 m
Long Runs:
- Average Heart Rate: 127-158 bpm (Zone 2)
- Cadence: 160-170 steps per minute
- Vertical Oscillation: 8-10 cm
- Ground Contact Time: 250-300 ms
- Stride Length: 0.9-1.1 m
Interval Runs:
- Average Heart Rate: Alternating between Zone 3 (158-174 bpm) and Zone 4 (174-190 bpm)
- Cadence: 180-200 steps per minute during fast intervals, 170-180 during recovery
- Vertical Oscillation: 6-8 cm during fast intervals, 7-9 cm during recovery
- Ground Contact Time: 180-220 ms during fast intervals, 200-250 ms during recovery
- Stride Length: 1.2-1.4 m during fast intervals, 1.1-1.3 m during recovery
Monitoring these metrics during different types of runs can help me optimize the form, efficiency, and performance.
