    Did an 8 mile trail run Did an 8 mile trail run yesterday. Been off a bit with knee heeling. I decided to use the HRM and see what happens. I am 50 so I have been using 130.

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    palouserider I do, hills are for walking. However, short hills I'll run up but anything longer than say 20 Yards/meters is a walk break.
