I felt much better physically today. Monday I was just so happy to get out on to the road again that I felt great regardless of anything else. Today I just felt good. I set out to keep in Zone 4 an... read more

great Zone 2 - "Recovery" 2 mi 00:29 14:20 pace
I am learning extreme patience to "run" this slow. Felt awesome. This whole Zone 2 must feel like what you all speedy people do all the time. I honestly felt like I was walking. :)

great HR Training "Run" 3.53 mi 00:45 12:48 pace
I am quite sure this time looks as ridiculous to you as it does to me. BUT - it's all about my HR right now. The humidity today was BRUTAL and I kept having to slow down to keep my HR in my Zone 2.... read more

great Zone 2 Training 3.02 mi 00:36 12:02 pace
Great mind clearing run in my HR Zone 2 for all but the last .3 miles. Followed up with a bunch of active isolated stretching on my cool-down walk. My neighbors think I look silly. :)
-
Nice job Colleen! Maybe you look silly but the stretching is so important, good for you!

good Max HR run 3.03 mi 00:30 09:44 pace
Started very slowly and built every mile until I was running a 7:57 pace at the end. Yay for negative splits. I was dry heaving when I stopped my watch. Figured out my max HR and am now set up to g... read more

great Easy, Low Heart Rate Run 2.51 mi
I focused on keeping a lower heart rate today. Like below 140. It was relatively painful mentally because I WANTED to run harder. All good though. I'm working towards a goal. :)

Good Job.

Heart Rate Training
So one of my goals is to bring my heart rate DOWN. Ask Meredith C. about how high my heart beats during runs. It's ridiculous.
Are there any heart-rate training programs out ... read more

Colleen....the only thing that you can get down with training is your resting HR....you were born w/ your max. It will never change. I happen to have a very high max HR---210. I don't fit into that nice little 220-age formula for my max! It frustrated me too when I first started keeping track of it. My SIL is HR training certified (and also has a high max) and gave me this cool worksheet to calc my own custom max HR. It's based on perceived exertion.

This is the only book you need for HR training:
http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Monitor-Training-Compleat-Idiot/dp/0915297256Basically you do easy runs under 70% of your max measured HR using the Karvonen range, and for your tempo's, intervals, etc you pitch the HRM. Get the book, though.

good Jacksonville Symphony Classic 3.96 mi 00:42 10:36 pace
Finished the Jax Symphony Classic! I wasn't last and I didn't die. I'm happy with the run but the bridge, turn around, run back over the bridge section at the beginning kinda sucked. :)

Congratulations Colleen! Finishing a race is always such a satisfying feeling. Now you can start planning for the next one! :D
