Digg! this story.

I’m not sure I like running for hear rate. This run I found myself needing a goal to hit. A “finish line” so to speak. Previously, that finish line was a set distance that I set out to achieve. Instead I was just gently plodding along watching the clock tick by.
My time in the “zone” today was 36 mintues. I kept going above the top of the zone (146bpm) and any time up there doesn’t count. My legs were unsually tired today, even for a double workout. I am blaming the fact that my stride is shorter and it feels as if my cadence is faster. There just feels like there is more impact on my legs.
I was also reminded why I hate the telemetry strap: I have some lovely rub marks from it. I hopped in the shower this afternoon and nearly howled when the hot water hit it. Time to invent some sort of anti-chafing thing for the strap.
Anyway, I’m going to keep up with this and see how it goes. A few people have recommended adding some strength training. I agree I need some, but I’m not sure where to fit it in. I admit, I’d much rather run that lift weights.
