दिल की धडकन का मॉनीटर – भाग १
हा लेख मी मिसळपाव.कॉम प्रसिद्ध केला होता…
राम राम मंड्ळी!
#मिपाफिटनेसच्या निमित्ताने अनेक मिपाकर – त्यात बरेच दिग्गजसुद्धा – उत्साहाने पुढे येऊन व्यायामाबद्दल माहिती देत आहेत, चर्चा करीत आहेत – म्हटलं त्यात आपणही थोडी भर घालावी.
आज आपण चर्चा करणार आहोत ती हार्ट रेट मॉनिटर (Heart Rate Monitor) वापरून “सुयोग्य” व्यायाम कसा करावा ह्या विषयावर. सुयोग्य शब्दाला अवतरण मुद्दाम का घातलंय ते पुढे येईलच पण नमनाला अधिक तेल न घालता हार्ट रेट मॉनिटर म्हणजे नक्की काय ते आपण बघूयात! मी हमी देतो की तुम्ही “सुयोग्य” व्यायाम पद्धतीने व्यायम केलात तर १ किंवा जास्तीत जास्त २ महिन्यात तुमचा एरोबीक पर्फॉर्मन्स सुधारेल (न सुधारल्यास कळवणे, लुक्सानी मिसळ+मस्तानीच्या मापात भरून दिली जाईल 🙂 )
माझं स्वतःच्या व्यायामाचं/स्पर्धांचे वेळापत्रक प्रामुख्याने धावण्याभोवती रचलेलं आहे त्यामुळे खालील माहिती धावण्याच्या व्यायाम प्रकाराला समोर (रनिंग) ठेवून लिहिली आहे. अर्थात ह्याच माहितीचा उपयोग कुठल्याही एरोबीक व्यायामप्रकारासाठी निश्चित होईल! मी कोणी सर्टीफाईड कोच नाहीये त्यामुळे लिखाणात काही चूक आढळून आली तर बिनधास्त सांगा – मी सुद्धा शिकेन.
लेखाची मांडणी ढोबळपणे ३ भागात केलीय.
- हार्ट रेट मॉनिटर का वापरावा?
- हार्ट रेट मॉनिटर म्हणजे काय आणि तो कसा निवडावा?

Turkey Trot’16
As usual, Silicon Valley Turkey Trot is run on a flat course. With 25000+ runners, it is a very large but a well-managed race (in fact, it is the largest local running event). This remains a very much a fun race for me.
It was also nice to PR with 51:21 (7 minutes off from my last best 10-k race time).

Morgan Hill Marathon’16
Another year, another race. But, boy was this a fun race!
Short version:
- Pre-race –
- Perfect 8 day running taper going in to the race.
- Good sleep followed by a cup of tea and a banana 40 minutes prior to the race.
- Race day –
- Weather – Cool(65 degrees), overcast morning and smaller than usual number of runners – even though I was in the middle of the pack, I crossed the start line in about 10 seconds after the gun went off!!.
- In-race hydration: Water at mile 6 (as practiced), Gatorade at mile 10, water again at mile 12.
- Good, consistent pace of averaging 8:30 min/mile with 170 steps/min during first 8-9 miles, slowed to 8:49 min/mile for next 3 miles. Finished strong… and, guess what – a PR of 1:57!! This was my first sub-2 hour half-marathon and it felt huge!
- Post-race –
- Recovery was ultra smooth. I must have sat for barely hour-and-half after coming back – no nap. But I was perfectly alright – so much so that, I could prepare for (house-cleaning etc.), participate in and clean up after a large dinner party at home that finished at 12 am next day – all in all I was up for 21 hours straight – first 2 of which I ran my fastest half-marathon!!

Turkey Trot 10K’15
This year it was decidedly chilly 32 F thanksgiving morning. I woke up, got ready and then headed out to the SAP center after cup of tea and a banana. At 6 am, parking was not a problem. I strolled over to our company tent and over a steaming hot cup of green tea, chatted with couple of early arrivals and the volunteers. I could not resist the delectable and freshly baked blueberry muffin (the only mistake of the race) but stopped after just one.
After a quick group photo, I headed out to the start line – crossed it within a minute and was soon off to crowded but flat and fast course over next six miles.
After sixth mile marker and just a few yards shy of the finish line, I threw up (blueberry muffin grrr….) but was alright after that.
Despite that hiccup, crossed the finish line at 58:03 of chip time – that is at 9:37/mi clip – my personal best.
Overall, it was nice and quick race.

Morgan Hill Marathon’15
I ran in Morgan Hill Half Marathon – my second one – on Sunday. It took me 2:10 hours to finish it. It was a minute longer than last year.
Race Highlights:
Pre-race nutrition: 1 cup of tea + 1 banana.
Strong start and consistent pace around 9:36 until mile 8.
In-race hydration: Good combination of 2 water stop (Mile 6, 11) and 1 Gatorade (Mile 9)
Race Lowlights
Mild to noticeable IBT
Walking-break and degraded pace of 11:22 between mile 11-12
Training Highlights:
Consistent weekly mileage 15-16 miles and good taper
Race-day endurance/pace mirrored closely with weekend long runs
Lower and different amount x-training (compared to previous year) did not affect adversely the pace, or introduce new injuries (switched-out bike rides with swims)

Morgan Hill HM’14
I ran in Morgan Hill Half Marathon – my first – on Sunday. It took me 2:09 hours to finish it.
The city of Morgan Hill is a suburban city about 60 miles south of San Fransisco and about 30 miles south of famed “Silicon Valley”.
I drove down to the city for the packet pick-up the day before race. First impression of the city – that of a quiet, affluent neighborhood has stayed with me. The Expo itself was rather small but all the local sports shops were well represented. With registration for me and my friends done, I rode back home – bro0ding over a 1000 ft elevation gain on hilly 6 miles out-and-back route.

Brooks Ghost 6 – First impressions
When it comes down to neutral road running shoes, I have been an Asics Nimbus user past 3 years.
So, you can say that this (early) review is not neutral (and no, no pun intended here ).
