So I tried something new today. Not sure why I did this, but I thought I'd run twice today. I did an easy 4 miles out and back from the house this morning. The focus of this run was on heart rate. My Garmin 405 takes your minimum and maximum heart rate and then divides it into Zones. The zones are the following:
Zone 1: 50% - 60% of my max
Zone 2: 60% - 70% of my max
Zone 3: 70% - 80% of my max
Zone 4: 80% - 90% of my max
Zone 5: 90% - 100% of my max
My focus of this run was to train in Zone 2, literally a nice easy morning run. Based on my maximum heart rate of 192, my Zone 2 range is 132 - 147bpm. I averaged 145bpm on this one so it was right at what I was shooting for.

After work, I met Leanna at the track for our first attempt at mile repeats. Basically this workout is a warm-up mile, run a mile (1600m) at faster than race pace, jog 800m (2 laps), run another mile (hence "mile repeat), another 800m, then a cool down mile. Mile repeats are great tools for building speed and for getting someone mentally tougher to know they can run much faster than their required marathon pace.
