Slowly, but surely getting back into it--left knee still bothers me when it's cold out, but luckily this winter in Texas lasted about a week. Going to start bumping the mileage back up next week--would like to get back to around 25-30MPW. Also decided to give HR training a shot this year despite how much my pace will hurt my ego.

I assume you're using a GPS watch of kind, but I found that it was really helpful to remove all pace and time info from the screens I typically use when going by HR.

Without being able to see how fast/slow I'm going I don't really care about it.

Yep FR220 with whatever HR strap it came with....I probably will do that and just make sure the only info viewable on page 1 is HR. Might even have to turn off mile notifications.

The 220 is a solid watch.

I typically only use one screen that shows both HR and distance. I kept the mile notifications, but only have it show total distance and average heart rate for the past mile.

I switched to this last summer once it got hot. It was discouraging to see how much slower I was once the heat and humidity rose. I eventually acclimated to it and sped back up (at my usual HR value), but not having pace saved some frustration.

It's been a good to me for about 4 years or so now, but it's exceptionally frustrating to use during bike rides/swimming/triathlon so I'm looking to make the move over to a 920XT once I can justify the $400

In the next couple months Garmin will release their newest Fenix watch, which are for multisport (other options than "just" run/bike/swim). A month or so after that the previous gen (Fenix 3) should really drop in price if you want to look at those.

I am starting to get back where I was in December. My only scheduled race is a Marathon on 07 May. At my current weight I will probably max out at 3:10. If I can drop another 15 lbs I might be able to get under 3:05.

It's time for new shoes. Over the course of running in my Altras I have started to land more on the outside of my feet which has led to IT band pain after long runs. I didn't really know why I was starting to hurt until I watched how my foot was landing. I was surprised to see that New Balance has brought back their Minimus MT10v. I have a pair on the way to see how they compare to the old ones. I got over 400 miles out of my last pair.

Was sick for a while and just now getting back into it. Plus, I have a hill race coming up the end of this month, So I have been doing more with the stairmaster. Yesterday, I was on it for an hour. Really working the calves, hamstrings, thighs and glutes. After this hill race, I am going to jump back on the cardio in prep for spring/summer road races.

That run is from Wednesday. I got food poisoning or a stomach virus and have been laid up.

On the plus side I found a shortcut to 180 lbs

Congrats on your half. I am doing one next month. I will probably make time early one morning this month just to make sure everything is in order. I did my first official one in November and want to better that time by a good bit.

Thanks. It wasn't an organized event, just the first time I have run that distance. I've been wanting to do it for weeks, but the weather here hasn't been cooperating.

I was on track to do more, but the snow got in the way. It did let facilitate some XC ski miles which aren't counted in that total.

Current Feb: 22.89

Removed all pace info off my watch (except mile notifications since I can't change that to display anything else) last week--have noticed my casual pace is 30-45 seconds slower just going alone off of trying to feel completely relaxed at all times. I know I'm crawling up hills at points.

Did a baseline HR test this morning--not sure how I feel about its accuracy, but I'll take it for what it says. Started with a moderate paced mile to get warmed up and then did four sets of hill sprints--they were only about 100m each, but between the climb was about 40ft which works out to ~12.2% grade. Originally I had planned on doing more, but after seeing my heart rate max right after the first I didn't see how it would get much higher. I saw the same max on the second sprint and a just under during the third and fourth.

Results show I have a max HR of 208 BPM--quite shocking considering the two methods for estimating HR are either 220 - age or 208 - (.7 x age). I'm waiting on the HR training book that Keen recommended to be delivered by Amazon, so until I finish it I'm just going to keep running without pace info and will probably start recording my easy run HR to see what it looks like
