Heart Rate Monitor

I recently purchased the Polar F6 Men’s Heart Rate Monitor Watch as my friends have talked about success they had with heart monitor training. Until the 10k I run in October, I’ll likely just use it to collect data. Once I determine an accurate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) during the race, I’ll use that in calculations to determine a HRM program to use after.

I’d like to develop a plan that will both help me loose weight and increase aerobic capacity and endurance. Have you used any plans to do either? Share links to your favorite plans/sites in the comments.

With or without a HRM, keep running!
