Livin' My Life

Tomorrow's Running Plan:
Seven Steps Becomes Nine...
Running According to Heart Rate:

8:00min @ 165bpm
1:00min @ 145bpm
10:00min @ 175bpm
1:00min @ 145bpm
10:00min @ 175bpm
1:00min @ 145bpm
10:00min @ 175bpm
1:00 min @ 145bpm
8:00 min @ 185bpm

Followed exactly this program would result in an average heart rate of 172.4 bpm, which is a little lower than my averages have been.  The goal is 4 miles.  12.5 minute miles to match Monday's run.  That means at 25 minutes I should be at least two miles in.  Fair enough.  Now, I just need to catch up on some sleep!

  1. This program worked well for me today. Ran four miles in fifty minutes without adjusting the speed once. My average heart rate was 170 bpm with an average speed of 4.8 mph. I'll likely use this one again on Friday, as well as probably Monday, Wednesday, Friday next week to compare results. My hope is that after next week I can lower the heart rate bpm for the nine steps a little bit and still reach the same distance.
