Threshold heart rate: what it is and how it can help your training

Want to find that next gear in your running? ⚙️ Let's talk about the secret to running faster, for longer. It’s all about training at your Threshold Heart Rate (THR) — that 'comfortably hard' sweet spot where you build serious speed endurance. Nailing this teaches your body to clear lactate more efficiently, helping you hold a faster pace and smash your PBs. Ready to find your magic number? Try this simple field test: 1️⃣ Warm-up well. 2️⃣ Run at the hardest pace you can sustain for 30 minutes. 3️⃣ Check your watch! Your average heart rate for the **last 20 minutes** is your estimated THR. Use this number to guide your tempo runs and unlock a new level of performance! Have you tried heart rate training before?
