I guess this says it all - except that in an attempt to qualify for Boston, I destroyed my time...

AM  I'm trying a new training philosophy.  Normally on Tuesday I have run 9.0 miles at 7:15 pace.   I'm following the program at the following URL - http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-244-255-9215-0,00.html  I guess that other than 2 key workouts, I should be training at 70% of Max Heart Rate.  Today's pace was 8:08.  That means the 9 miles that I normally do took me 8 minutes longer this week, plus I added another 2.2 miles - so I spent 1:31 on the road instead of 1:05.

This seems a little slow and I'm not sure if the training program means 70% of max, like it says, or if it means 70% of Heart Rate Reserve.  My Max is 196, my min is around 45.  70% of 196 is 137.  70% of Heart Rate Reserve is 151. I tried to keep my HR around 150 and tried not to get over 159.  There is one large hill (out and back) - on the way back I hit 164 and running down the hill I hit 163.  Hills give me trouble.  I know that I am supposed to give a level effort, but I always push hard on hills, so it was a lot of work holding back.  I almost felt like I could walk faster.

I guess that my pace was better than my last marathon, so I shouldn't feel like it was extremely slow, but again, it was work to hold back so much.

 

PM  Basketball 1.5 hrs.
