Training Change Update

I’ve added a new section to my blog site called Heart Rate Training, where I outline changes I made to my training last November and the results so far.  It is too lengthy to post here, but the link to it is at the bottom of this post.

The basic premise: All of my training for about 3 months starting last November was done keeping my heart rate in a small, specific range.  I used a heart rate monitor to make sure I was in the right zone and had my watch beep to indicate too high or low. I had to really slow down to do this.

For much of the last two years, I followed training plans laid out in the book Run Less Run Faster.  This program does work, and I still think it is valid under the right circumstances.  Maybe I’ll do a post one day comparing the two programs more thoroughly.  For the time being, though, I’m going to continue with the heart rate training.  I’ve been really happy with the results.

If you are a beginner/restarter or  frustrated with a plateau or dealing with nagging injuries, I’d encourage you to adopt this type of training for 3-4 months!
