Re: RC: Re: pace in endurance

[Tivers@aol.com]

Because of terrain and other variables, "pace" might best be determined with 
heartrate rather than MPH. I was just talking to a ridecamper about a horse 
whose HR at a given speed was higher at a trot than at a canter. In that 
case, the pace, in MPH, was not an accurate guage of the energy expenditure 
and metabolics necessary to keep the horse moving HR was.
