I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Week of really easy running

Really easy trail run, keeping my heart rate down. I really want to do the 80/20 thing. 80% really easy and 20% really hard. Need to get a heart rate monitor so I can sure I'm doing it right. Beautiful day on the trails:)

I bought myself a new toy last week, a TomTom GPS with HR monitor built into the wrist strap (no chest strap needed). I'm trying to get a sense of what my HR is on runs of different terrains/paces this week. I need to figure out my max HR, though. My HR seems higher than I thought it would be on easy, conversational pace runs.

Tina I'm a little confused in how to figure out my zones? Did you figure yours out? How?

I haven't yet. I still need to figure out my max HR. Honestly, the zones are a bit confusing to me, too, and there are several ways to calculate them. Some people just use percentages of max HR, but I've seen other formulas that use max HR and resting HR. I'll let you when I actually calculate them. For now, I've just been running and looking at my HR after the fact. There doesn't seem to be any consistency in my recorded HR and paces at all. Some days I have a lower average HR while running faster than days where I have a higher ave HR.

I like this website and the Joe Feriel method is how Matt does it in the book. I took my resting heart rate (that one is easier than figuring out max) and then did the 220-age=max HR. This gives you a pretty good idea. Heart rate is hard, I did it several years ago. You have to be so patient. It will be different depending on stress levels, sleep, and other factors. One thing I like to do to see my progress is go to a track and time a mile with your heart rate at 100, then a mile @120, then a mile @140, one @160, then see how long you can go all out. Give your self full rest in between 4-7 mins of easy jogging, except after the 1st one just go into the next. Do a mile super easy warmup. Then repeat this every 3-4 weeks and see how much you have progressed. Also go off laps and not GPS
