      do those zones incoporate your resting heart rate? are they based on a certain energy system you are trying to work in?

      I use zones 1:50-60% of max, 2:60-70%, ... 5:90-100%max hr and estimatE max hr using 220-age.

      I do speed & tempo runs at least once per week too.

      Most people call z3 a recovery run. Using a hr monitor ensures that you are doing it right

  2. greatRuby Hill, Kaltoff Common, Sy... 12.38 mi / 02:16 11:01 pace

    Super slow long run, tried to stay in heart rate zone 3 the entire run. I occasionally got into zone 4 on the hills and for the last 2 miles when it started to get warm.

    13 min at HR zone 2
    5 min at HR zone 3
    12 min at HR zone 1

  7. goodCougar bait 6.56 mi / 01:09 10:31 pace

    The local paper said that there was a mountain lion sighting in my neighborhood yesterday morning. I ran the Ruby Hill concentric loops which circles right around where the cougar was spotted. I was hoping to see it this evening but no luck.

      On the other hand, you're lucky, it didn't see you! Be careful out there!

      Remind me to tell you about the stand-off I had with a cougar while mountain biking when we meet in Seattle for RnR.

    This is my race day outfit. I don this outfit when I need a little extra kick in my stride.

      I'm jealous; shorts and short sleeves, John. We'd die of exposure in these parts. LOL.

      I remember when that was your dailymile photo!

      Note John's Asics visor! I have never seen him run without that visor on. Well, except for that night run on the Ohlone trail. No visor then.
