Hello TheEd
Now I am getting ready for my program to start on Tuesday.
I did a couple of slower runs in the past days:
Fri: 5,1k @ 6:17 per km, HR average 141 (movescount: /moves/move759654)
Sun: 15k @ 6:55 per km, HR average 140 (movescount: /moves/move772169)
I did both runs alone. The longer one on Sunday was in terrain with quite some ups and downs along the way. I tried to keep the HR steady and did not look at my speed during the run. It went fine, even if a felt a bit stiching pain in my chest at two occasions (around 1:06 hrs from start and 1:24 hrs from start). In both occasions, the pain went away after 1-2 minutes. Also, my legs started to feel a bit heavy toward the end, and today I have the feeling in my legs that I have had some heavier exercise.
Today I will do stretching and my regular floorball, and then tomorrow I will start the program with the easy 60-70 min run.
Regarding the term "easy run", do you recommend I shall run these runs only focusing on keeping my body relaxed and my HR low? If so, how low should the HR ideally be? Or should I try to keep a steady pace from the beginning to the end?
Looking forward to your comments
