Hello TheEd,
Yes I have the belt that came with my garmin watch. No idea how reliable it is but it should do the job and I used it a few times lately.
I was definitely considering going for more relaxed run so I'm glad we agree. Be it just to build back my confidence that my injury is only a memory.
Also I never really ran much more than 10K a week other than the 2 weeks before my injury (25 then about 40... possibly "helped" me get my injury) so I don't know how seriously or ready my body is for running more than 10-20K.
This week I'm on my way to a 13K week and each and everyone of them are easy relaxed run.
How long/far should I run those relaxed easy runs? Do you have a target HR? I usually aim for 140s. (I'm 29) Next step seems to be 30 minutes for me. Haven't tried running hard since I came back to recovery.
