I was going for a track work out last night and was really going to push it. I had decide that it was time. Then why did I end up on a causal run with Trigger. Why? Well . . . I took off work a little early to help Number 1 son, Spencer, get signed up for Texas Tech. That went well, with him being 18, and all that goes with being 18, we don’t “just visit” all that often. And then two of his friends show up and we sit in the living room talking. Talking mostly about nothing, me listening mostly. Spenc has known Kent sense birth. We shared lots of laughs especially when the story about Spenc knocking Kent's tooth out when they were playing football in the front yard and Spenc was the only one wearing a helmet. They decided to go eat. I gave Spenc $8
bucks, yes even though he works he gets a stipend sometimes.
So, why did I run with Trigger and not head to the track?
I was afraid of hurting my foot so I chickened out - that’s why.
Run:
about 4 miles
3 - harder 225
the rest recovery

Bryan, what kind of HR zones are using on your HRM for training?
For the run only:
Recovery 147
Threshold 168
I have not set a HR for the bike. I am sure that it would be several beats different.
What do those mean? On a recovery run you would try to keep HR below 147 and on a training run below 168? What kind of HR do you hit in a race?
Who cares about the track, what a great little story about your kid-you are human:-)
That's correct.
Recovery under 147
Threshold above 168
The Tuesday morning run is a good example of threshold running. Threshold/recover, threshold/recover.
Race? I ran the Whit Rock Relay as 165, which I thought was too high, but made it. I don't think I could run that high today. I might try 165 this weekend if I do the shorter run, the longer 160.
Bike? I can maintain 160 -165 for 60 miles, but I really don't know what my HR should be on the bike. I have not set a max yet.
D, if I cut loose with all of the "boys" stories there would be no room for training info.
