Notes:
\nOk, I was supposed to do 5 miles today but due to some time constraints, I could only do 3. Still, I made the most out of the workout by figuring out my maximum heart rate! LOL. I did the test incorrectly… I forget that you’re supposed to go with the easy first few miles and then the last few minutes <\/em>is when you sprint. I actually did the sprint but went way too fast in the beginning that I ended up having unscheduled walk breaks!<\/p>\n

Even then I still was able to figure out my max HR — the largest number that showed up on my Garmin was 185 bpm, add 5 beats to that and my max HR is 190 bpm! Not too bad. This means, though, that if I want to workout in the “zone” where I want to increase lung capacity and the number and size of my blood vessels AND\u00a0improve my respiratory rate, I’d have to keep my heart rate between 133 – 152 bpm.<\/p>\n

Looking back, the average heart rate (based on my last\u00a09 workouts) is 161 bpm. ACK. This means I’ve been working out in the “Threshold” and “Red-Line” zones! Oh, if you haven’t a clue what I’m talking about, check this site<\/a> out (Kudos to Sheryl<\/a> for finding that article!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, the run tonight wasn’t too bad — aside from going to fast, I felt relatively good. It was rather crowded at the park, though, so I’ll deffo try to go run around 4 or 5PM.<\/p>\n
