| | 5.5 miles in 46:13 for an average pace of 8:24/mile in a cool 38 degrees and lots of stars. Splits were 9:13, 8:25, 8:12, 8:10, 8:08, and 8:17. Still seeking my first sub-8 minute mile. My fastest pace was 6:25 in mile 5, so I'm getting closer.

| | November started out with a non-working garmin. My plan was low heart rate training this morning, but I've never tried to do that without a heart rate monitor. I know how fast I usually go and I know that my heart rate stays down pretty good if I memorize things outloud. So that's what I did. Based on my cell phone time, I ran 4.6 miles in 58 minutes, give or take a minute. That would be about 12:36 per mile. | | Comments(1) |
| | Garmin worked and registered 5.48 miles in 1:09:49 for an average pace of 12:45/mile. But the heart rate monitor read way high for the whole run. If it takes sweat to operate, then there wasn't any of that going on. When I was done, my clothes were still very dry. At 30 degrees, no body cooling was needed. | | Add Comment |
| | 20 degrees warmer today (50 degrees) and the heart rate monitor worked, but today was a fast day. I ran 5.5 miles at an average pace of 8:35 per mile, starting at 9:22 and ending at 8:06, with improvements on each mile. Not my best pace, but satisfactory. | | Add Comment |
| | 11.55 miles at a low heart rate in 2:30:02, or 12:59/mile. Snow was forcast, but there were only a few flakes here and there. I was running directly into the wind for about 5 miles and then uphill. I found it more difficult than usual to keep my heart rate down. The average was 129bpm with a max up to 138bpm. I hope this did some good because I don't like to run slowly. | | Comments(1) |
