I'm so frustrated right now. (Read 1448 times)

Nope just plugging in the numbers from my watch is all. I know what I mean and I understand what it says when I look at my log. For example: 1.25/15 minutes:13seconds and :41

As long as you know what's up, that's what matters. Though I'll admit that I was confused by the unconventional usage at first, too.

I dont understand why you think my interval logs are confusing?? I have a Timex Ironman that I use when I run them..my times are broken down into minutes, seconds and ms (why put in the milliseconds? Because I am anal retentive that way lol) and that is exactly how I put down my times.. I don't always put it that way, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. So I went back and changed them to show minutes and seconds only.. Regarding how I listed the actual intervals, what is confusing about them? I did 3x400 repeats. I did a mile something jog and followed that with a mile even tempo followed by another short cool-down before I went home.. ( but I accidently but my tempo BEFORE my actual jog and never corrected it) OR is it me just not getting how to use it? How hard can it be? Aww, shite, now I'm confused. Now see what you gone and did?!! lol

Ahhhh, thanks for clarifying that. I'll go fix that. Once again, thanks! Okay, I feel like a total and complete asshat now.. I think I fixed it though..

Okay, I think I fixed it now..I forgot to Autosum it.

*kicks the dirt at the ground* I hope I did not piss anyone off too much on my quest to be the most anal retentive person ever.

Here is the thing, is it really too fast if I feel okay whilst running? That is what I am getting confused/stuck on. All those runs in my log that I have as easy- where not hard runs and my tempo runs where faster than those runs-BUT according to my heart rate if I were to run those speeds it would probably have me in the 85-90% range BUT they never really felt that hard. I might just have to have a re-do and find out what my Max Rate really is, I think I am higher than what my hrm is telling me I am. Am I a pain in the ass or what?? I need to find where someone posted a good way to find your max I know I read it here awhile back.. Jill- That is the thing- I really struggled trying to bring my pace down and I really had to focus and needed to keep looking at my monitor on my hrm. Hey- whatcha drinkin' in your cup?

What that tells me is that your anaerobic system is GREAT but your AEROBIC system needs some serious work. Slow down those runs. I used to be just like you until I started to train by my HR. Yes it's hard at first but after a while you really learn what it means to run easy and to run hard(er). If you want to keep running for the rest of your life, slow down.
