Today was a eye opener for me. I did not realize how much out of shape I am, or should I say my aerobic training fitness sucks. How can I tell this, well my run today I was tying to keep my BPM between 120-150. I was able to keep it low, but I was running so slow that I could have been speed walking faster than my run today. It was kinda of funny when my five mile run was over I could not feel my legs because they were so numb from running so slow. But I will keep running this slow if it helps me to obtain my 1:30 minute for a Half-Marathon. So thank you for reading, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks

Barry, this is common - all my friends have said exactly the same thing when they first start using a HRM. It is not that you are not in good shape, it is that you are not efficient at running slowly. Give it a couple weeks and you will notice it getting better.

Good job on keeping the long term perspective!

Thanks bonnie, you know i never new running slow was hard. i thought it would come naturally. I do agree with you in the fact that i needed a trainer to help me become a better runner.

Barry, Don't worry right now about it. We'll tweek things up here in a while. For now stay especially in that 130-150 zone. Aim to run somewhere around 10 minute mile pace. I'll call you tonight about Saturday's harder workout session ok?

If it's any consolation I'm having to run 8 minute miles to stay in my zone because of the accident. That is not running for 3 weeks and with a slight injury still hanging on.
