The other day, Sheryl<\/a> sent me a link to this running website that had a running calculator<\/a>. I thought it’d be just like any pace calculator but it was actually something else.\u00a0 Being the crazy person that I am, I decided to try it out for the first time during my long training run and it was pretty awesome!<\/p>\n

I entered my best 1\/2 marathon race (LV Half Marathon<\/a>, last year) and then saw that based on what I entered, for Endurance Workouts (which is what this long run was), I’d benefit if I kept my pace from 13:07 to 14:07 min\/mile.<\/p>\n

In keeping with that suggestion, I did my best to stay within this range and I felt great during the entire run. Sure I felt my left knee a bit and then my right arch, but it wasn’t a serious sharp pain, or anything like that, that I was able to shake it off. I also did some weird intervals for the first time and I kind of like it! I did 6 min run \/ 30 sec walk; then every 30 minutes, when I need to take my nutrition, I’d take a whole 1 minute walk break.<\/p>\n

I was also surprised that my HR stayed fairly consistent (except towards the end when I had to up the pace because I had another appointment!) I guess the training this week paid off (resistance on Monday,\u00a0 barefoot on Tuesday and swim on Wednesday) that I may be returning to the fitness level I want to be in! So excited.<\/p>\n

I just really need to take it in stride, though, and stop with the crazy training experiments. Heheh. I also need to be aware of recurring pain (esp. my left knee!)<\/p>\n
