The Nike Triax Elite HRM/SDM is designed for serious athletes devoted to serious training. This system includes a watch, heart rate monitor, Speed Distance Monitor and computer software. For as complex as the whole set-up sounds, the watch is super simple and easy to use—even when you’re exhausted after a brutal workout. The wireless SDM connects to your shoe, and monitors your pace and your distance. The chest strap monitors your heart rate, and the watch records it all, in addition to lap and split times. As you run, you can see all of your information, and when you get home, you can wirelessly transfer it all to your computer. Check out real-time views of your training progress. It’s a great way to see if you’re over or under training, and recognize healthy and unhealthy patterns. Because the whole system is wireless, Nike has digitally coded the transmission, so you won’t pick up other people’s workouts, and they won’t get yours. On days when your workout is water-based, the watch and chest strap can follow you.

Training Tips

Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.

Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.

Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.

Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
