Hi Arnie, in reply to the easy runs
where you are with your running is very much at a development stage, and keeping the easy runs at a pulse of 140 to 150 bpm is probably best, so that you are able to absorb all the training without breaking down.
As you develop the pace for the same pulse should in theory get quicker, and you would then cover further distance during the same time
before heart rate monitors became the 'rage', we worked on the following formula:
up to 1hr easy runs . 1 minute per k slower than current 10k pace
over 1hr towards 2hr runs. 90 seconds per k slower than 10k pace
I hope this helps
the programs are progressive, and the longer you on the forums, and the more cycles you go through, will determine the different sessions and paces that get added to the program, so a great deal more to come
all the best
