I ran 5 miles easy.
I have noticed that when I turn the pace up a bit I usually feel better. I use to always run slow but after watching my heart rate it was too slow. I was not getting any benefit. You need to get your HR up to MAF as much as possible. That is 180-your age+5 beats if you a healthy. You walk hills if you exceed that 5 beats. Run like that everyday. Of course there are other factors involved and I will discuss those in future posts. I have a lot of miles in my legs and I can hold that HR without walking on just about all my runs but I live where it's flat. Right now I do 2 workouts a week. A midweek session with some type of interval work and a group long run on Saturday with guys that are faster than me. It's early in the season so no need to get hurt.
