This webinar is part of 4 webinars to get ready for your upcoming endurance season. This is the last in the series.
In this one we look how we can see if we are increasing our fitness and how we can keep track of what we de.
Logging our work, and indexing some indicators of higher intensity work will help with that.

We have been working on this project for a while, and on Saturday 30th March, we began the first session of the Groen Equestrian 2024 Comparative Heart Rate Study in Banbury, Oxfordshire. As many of you have noticed, I am very interested in heart rates, particularly how various breeds of horses respond to the same workload and how we can provide be...

I have done 2 webinars about heartrate monitors (I had to: too much to tell you and both are still long ;) ) Both are fine as stand alone, but are very much part of each other if you really want to know about how to really make the best of riding with a heartrate monitor. This is the first, about different ways to measure heartrate, which systems are available (at the moment of recording, end of 2022), combining systems if you want more.
I also discuss individual range of heartrate, maximum heartrate, VO2max and the training zones often given by apps. To really understand how a heartrate monitor can be useful in training for endurance it is good to know what the aerobic threshold is (and the anaerobic threshold) and what happens within the horse when these are reached. The last thing i discuss is monitoring your horse's fitness levels by using (standardised) fitness tests.
Have a look (and remember, you can watch as many times you like within your subscription period)

Using a heartrate monitor can give you vital information about your horse, about his general wellbeing, training and fitness levels. In this tutorial, I will discuss different uses for your heartrate monitor using a baseline, understanding zones, Vmax and average heartrates. And of course recovery. I will also tell you about the limitations h...

Now the schools have started again, the structure of "normal" life has started once more. And what better time for us to do some "studying" as well? In my coaching I often get asked about heartrate monitors, which one to use and how to use them. They can be a super tool to aid your training so that's why I will start with 2 webinars...
