90 minute WO vs. 60 minutes.

I hear that only runs of 90 minutes or more are good for the heart

Now just where did you hear that? You must have bought MacElroy's
book: "Running for the Compleat Idiot."

I hear that only runs of 90 minutes or more are good for the heart,
but I currently run 6 per day. Would it be better to run 90 minutes
every otherday, or 6o minutes 6 days a week with an occasional 90
minute run thrown in? My goal is strictly to be heart-healthy.

Run 20 min per day on 80-90% MHR.

Um, right. We thought you were keeping the cholesterol thing in check
with garlic?

You did? That's very interesting, and just where did you get this
little fantasy from? My bad breath? You don't even know anymore than
my first name.

Thats the current government guideline:

But B.S. in my opinion. More isnt always better.
90 minutes a *week* is good amount. More than twice that is
for other reasons than health (like winning races).

No, if we were judging by your breath we'd have figured pot smoking was
your health strategy. The garlic capsules don't really affect your
breath unless you belch. Or so Charles says.

I was trying to be helpful. I assume your post re: smartass's was
directed to others. As for running and cholesterol - running is an
excercise that increases the HDL levels, which in turn increases your
reverse cholesterol transport. Most studies have found that HDL levels
increase sharply until about 30 miles/week, and then the increase gradually
decreases up to about 40 miles a week - again, thereafter the increase is a
diminished return. You can google HDL and exercise and you should find
several studies.

30-60 min, 5 days a week - more than enough to get cardio into excellent
shape.

90 minutes or more - extremely diminished return.

Well I was specifically interested in the type that rehabs your
clogged arteries. I read that runs of 90 minutes or more were needed
to reverse clogged arteries. Time wise i'd much rather do 90 minutes
every other day, and have every other day free.

Yes I know you were. Thank you.
My comments were aimed at the guys in the other replys saying I have
'bad breath from garlic' are the clowns.
This will be my first and last posts here.

Yes I know you were, as was Rick. Thank you.

There's a lot of noise on these groups, unfortunately. The really annoying
persons can be filtered locally on your computer so their posts never even
show up (see "Tools/Message Rules/Block Sender List" if you use outlook).
Stick around, after a while you won't even notice them...
