    Greetings for Memorial Day Weekend, masters.

    ok week of running for me including:

    16 miles with 3 at marathon pace (19:25) Monday

    5 X 1000 meters (200 jog) at 5k pace (total time 17:58) Weds

    2 X 13:00 (2:00 recovery) fairly hard (unmarked distance, hilly road course) Friday

    anyone used a heart rate monitor for effort-based training? how did you like it? Usual plus I hear (keeps me from going too fast on easy days) has never moved me because I go very slow on easy days. But I'm starting to think it might be useful for keeping me from bailing, or getting discouraged by the times if I don't bail, on hard days.

    As I get older and slower I'm finding it more of a strain to get through workouts without treating them as races in a misguided attempt to reassure myself I'm not THAT much slower.

    have a great week,

    Dave

    Nice running Dave. Have never used a HRM so I cannot comment.

    Made it through Louisville without any issues, good treadmills at the hotel gym, never really had a chance to run outside. Hotel had the Life Fitness machines which shows your progress around a track. All good runs commencing at 5:00 am except the first day as I ran once I checked in.

    Tomorrow will make 150 days of my streak. With a few exceptions, have not felt fatigued by keeping at it. Might try for 200. Yet to be determined.

    Have a great week!

    re: 1500Master

    65 mile week with a brutal 10k (2 mile uphill) next week to get ready for. My training partners are really excited to watch me suffer.

    Tues - 4x 5:00 min/2:00 off then long warm down over 10k course.

    Fri - 4(500, 300) mile/800 effort

    Sat - a couple games of full court basketball after a 10 miler, no shot, but great workout.

    Cheers
