    15 miles*** 3:14:05 ahr 135/mahr 150(12 miles). Does not include  2 mile WU and 1 mile CD. Goal was to fininsh in under 3:10 and keep HR under 150.  12 miles pace 12:38. Goal pace 14:00. The run felt easy. Not wasted after wards. Went shopping with DW. I think the difference is" time on feet". Normally 15 miles take about 3:35 if I stay at  Maff 126. Only 1 major hill. Right knee pain at 8 miles . Left knee pain at 11 miles. Thighs  burning at 13 miles after climbing hill. None of the pain last more than a minute. Hoping to avoid a repeat of my 15 mile race in Oct.

    Hey RC,

    How are you feeling following the 15 miler?

    Looked like a nice sensible long run. Nice accomplishment.

    Been a long, long time since I've attempted that type of run. Would like to get there this spring!

      I don't need this.
      Shiny baubles in the roadway and slick surfaces compete for my attention. Beguiling. Compounding the angst, a sudden sense of looseness portends one thing. A carefully tied lace has come undone. Several strides later, it's rhythmic whipping forces me to pull over, cursing my decision to wear mittens.

      Mining recent data, I discover that on Friday I went 4 miles combined and caught a 12:27 mile, averaging 119 bpm.
      Yesterday was a 4 mile walk.
      Today, laces notwithstanding, I cover 6.2 miles combined, with a run segment of 2 1/2 miles averaging 13:39, all at the same 119 bpm average.
      Recent flirtation with anaerobic runs in the 10, 11, and 12 m/m range may have stirred the pot. I feel it in my bones.

      I'm desperately trying to reduce stress, but it seems to be everywhere!
      All I wanted was a lousy cup of hot chocolate. Measure 3 Tbsp, or is it Tsps, stir, microwave 3 min., remove, stir..blah, blah

           Surprisingly, I feel great. Raining with tornado warnings. Taking a rest day. 60 F. What a waste of warm weather.

          Run until the trail runs out.

                 Good to hear the results Stella. I found the same thing with lhr running. Almost no recovery necessary, especially if you use a long cool down. I had a good 4.6 mi run this morning. 2 mi warm up, 3/4 mi cool down, overall ahr=98, mhr=108, running segment ahr=103 at better than my half pace! HR seemed to behave normally as opposed to Sat when it seemed to want to stay low. Only difference being running after I took meds on Sat.

                2012 goals: keep on running! Is there anything more than that?

                Finish 2 halves, 3M Half 1/29 and probably Decker Challenge in Dec
                history: blessed heart attack 3/15/2008; c25k july 2008 first 5k 10/26/2008, 62nd birthday; 1st 10k 2/28/2009 - 50 wks from heart attack to 10k; 1st Half Marathon 11/9/09 20 months from heart attack! !

                  I've recently decided to add 5 beats to my MAF HR for improved fitness (180-age + 5 = 145) as I have been working out for close to two years with about 8 months of serious run training and have lost a total of 63 pounds to date.

                   

                  I joined the local YMCA to start swimming and running on their indoot track (11 laps to a mile). I have been running in my calculated Zone 2 (145 to 157) for a couple weeks now.

                   

                  Yesterday I ran 77 laps (7 miles) at the YMCA and average a 143 HR with a 148 max in 1:11:10 for a 10:10 pace. My legs felt heavy and slow and I was very suprised at the pace when I finished. The previous runs on this track were slightly faster (10:00 to 10:10) with a HR average around 152.

                   

                  Is the swimming helping or just a big jump in fitness? I'm going to take the day off today for a rest day as my quads are sore and see if I can run 7 miles again on Wednesday at my new MAF in about a 10:10 pace.

                  2012 Goals:

                  5k = sub 22:00

                  10k = sub 45:00

                  HM = sub 1:40:00

                  Run = 2000 miles

                  Bike = 3000 miles

                  Swim = 130 miles

                    State of the gear.

                    It's ridicously cold and windy today. I ditched my plans to run.

                    What are your stressors?
                    Red challenge flags? Pants on the Ground? Balloon boys? Or, simply announcers extolling the brilliance of  players "knowing" where the first down marker is, etc, etc??
                    Make it go away Mr President.. make it go away.

                    I shouldn't complain. It was a privilege experiencing the primes of Francis Tarkenton, Ozzie and Harriet, and The Lennon Sisters. Life was never so good!
                    Back in the fifties. Uncle Red may have been behind the wheel, but it was a curious 9 year old, who was steering that big Oldsmobile.

                        Mine (almost brand new HR strap) showed me at an impressive 219 bpm during my bike warm up!

                        And I was singing the praises of it's accuracy only a couple of weeks ago.

                          struggled today hr was  up a bit so fund it hard to keep in zone.. Not sure why was warm but same as yday though my hr was up before i left so maybe just one of those things still did 11km and enjoyed myself

                            A little hectic, today. Might benefit from a run this afternoon.
                            Later, it's hibiscus with a twist of lemon. Sheep counting commenses at 7 pm.
                            I'll stay mostly off grid till Super Bowl Sunday. (Enjoy the ads!)
