Woke up late and had too much work to get done so I opted for an extra day of recovery. Maybe I'll take the kids to the park tonight and run around while they play. I'm thinking of doing two-a-days starting later this year so I'll be able to get a feel for running in the evening. Ended up taking the kids to the park and tried to get some running in while they played. Didn't work out as well as I had hoped because I had to stop to help them a few times. There is a short loop (0.30 miles) and long loop (0.43 miles) around the park. Alternated between the 2 so that I could be close to the play ground. I experimented with different paces to see how my heart rate reacted. Ran a little at 5:30/mile and heart rate was around 173. At 6:00/mile heart rate stayed below 160. Actually felt pretty comfortable at this pace. Finished the last 0.30 at 5:00/mile pace and heart rate got up to 181. Pace felt a little forced and not very smooth. Avg HR = 160 (I'm estimating this because of all the stopping that I had to do) Total Time = 29:00 |
