I’d say it’s “all of the above”, especially the extra zeds. Hope the hamstring does the right thing and you don’t have to cut any sessions short.

By the way, I have a much superior “reaaaally slow” pace. We’re often jogging at 6:30 to 6:50 ks (10:30 to 11:00 miles), so there!

Great idea! Just be sure not to use those silly heart rate Max calculators (ie 220-whatever) because they don’t work at all!! You’ll have to do a heart rate max test so you know how to base the numbers, running a 5K is a great way to see, otherwise there are different approaches to finding it.

I am going to get the HR monitor for my Forerunner405. I think it will be a good tool to see exactly where I am at while training for Philly.

The HR thing seems to follow a more long term trend than other indicators like interval speeds. So no plateau yet, Flo. The underlying trend is continuing improvement. I like the slow recovery running, too.

Good tip for people needing compression socks. I must say, my little getup is working a treat! And you can’t beat the cost. :-)

Attitude is an interesting thing, it helps that I’ve been through an extended rough period which makes you look at the big picture less than the immediate surroundings. Knocking on wood for steady forward progress for me, you and everybody!
