Summary: Good experimental week. Going to try and incorporate some heart monitor training into the mix. This week has taught me that I need to take my easy days easier, which will leave me fresher and more motivated for the hard days. Fridays 400m repeats were hard and I really hope to get the times down to the mid-70’s sometime soon. Sunday’s tempo run (which I usually don’t enjoy), turned out to be a great workout. My last 2 miles were faster than they felt which might bode well for next weekend’s Independence Middle School 5k.
(Note: resting heart rate 5/8/06 = 40bpm)
