There has been a big increase in recent years of the number of people following a vegan diet. The media may have had something to do with it, with documentaries like The Game Changers, the accessibility of vegan food in the super markets and restaurants and of course high performance athletes getting great results at an elite level that follow a plant based diet.
As with any diet there are healthy and unhealthy ways to follow a vegan diet.
In recent years periods have become less of a taboo subject as media coverage has started to increase with top athletes talking about their periods and more research being done into the physical and mental effects on periods, hormones and exercise.
What is HR Training?
With this type of training you can forget about the pace your running at, but instead focus on what your heart rate is doing.
Depending on the type of run you’re doing will affect the heart rate zone your wanting to run in.
Heart rate training is very personal as we all have different resting heart rates and therefore different maximum heart rates. So you’ll find a beginner or a retuning to running runner will have a different maximum heart rate to somebody who is an experienced runner.
