HR after BB.

[ivan178]

Hello, when you end BB and start for example black protocol.

I saw a post of KB saying that for the E sessions, you don't have to look HR anymore, just start adding speed/pressure. Am I right?
And for the 5km fast, it says 80-85% max hear rate, but it's okay if I do the max I can?

Regards

Personally I'd keep all E runs easy and long. Once in a while its okay to test yourself and push the pace but I wouldn't make a habit out of it.

Keep your fast 5/tempi runs in the 80-85% zone. They should be challenging but sustainable (NOT a race pace).
