It's back to some low hr running (although, without the monitor).
Outside of the races, I have had some pretty poor training runs recently. Probably a combination of poor diet and that bee sting (swelling is finally gone!). My kids have been trading off puking, so I don't know if I had a little bit of that too.
This morning was and easy 6 at slow pace. 58 minutes. But it felt good and I ran an even pace. It will be a lot of these plus hills for the next six weeks.
I am already figuring that Superior is going to be a "run easy for an hour and walk 5-10 minutes" run. The fear I have of the race is being overshadowed by the excitement of running on a beautiful course.

Why no monitor?
Are you just used to what pace you typically run your low HR at? Aren't there still fluctations because of the weather conditions, etc. - so you should be wearing your monitor??
Tough Crowd!
A - I did not put it on because I have not worn it in months.
B - I just know where it is by feel....which you need to learn too!
C - At that tempo, it does not fluctuate much. For distances 10miles and under, the heat does not affect my hr at that pace.
D - I can't stand that stupid strap.
I don't need no stinking badges!
It sounds like a wise plan to just be out there and run like you really love it, If you can't just enjoy it how are you going to get through 100 miles.

I must have a crazy HR then, or just not have done this LHR stuff long enough, because mine fluctuates alot in the different weather conditions and I haven't mastered knowing where it is by feel!
I agree that the strap is irritating though. It slips down on me alot (which may account for some of my crazy numbers)
Oh boy! Low HR training for Matthew means I might actually be able to join you for a training run. Keep me informed what you're up to, and I'll tag along after Voyageur.
