Title: Interesting read-- but no PR's for me
Product review: As an experienced road-racer for a decade, and user of a heart monitor for several years, I looked forward to learning to use it more effectively. Author of the classic, "Once a Runner," Parker promises marked improvement and PR's, backed up by enthusiastic testimonials. I eagerly followed his 12 week training plan to the letter, achieving 45-55 mile training weeks without injury or fatigue and increasing my cardiovascular fitness with a drop in resting heart rate to 45. Unfortunately, my 5K race pace slowed considerably as a result. All the easy running in the program made the hard training days feel much harder and converted me into a slower runner. This form of training just may not be suitable for every "compleat" idiot runner!
