today:
mode: run you lazy fucker
duration: 1hr 6mins
location: Richardson's to Suisan and back again
comments: i tried to push myself into the imaginary zone 4 for the last 20 minutes. but i don't currently have a heart monitor so I have no idea what zone I was living in. Sunday I will borrow a heart monitor from TnT. Should make things interesting. I hope it has a robot voice and says things like, "You are no longer in Zone 4. Run faster you lazy beyotch or I will start using the taser." Sadistic robot coaching being the ultimate goal of all this technology.
extra credit: swam for 7 minutes (yes you read that right SEVEN minutes without stopping!!!!) @ Richardsons Beach. Felt much better than my pool workout. Probably I was pushing too hard at the pool yesterday. Plus the chlorine makes me a neurotic quitter baby.

you are welcome to borrow my heart rate monitor!
However, before I had one, I learned all about the 'rate of perceived exertion', which I still tend to use because I'm lazy about wearing a heart rate monitor. Using this method with our program's "zone 1-4", here's what I get:
z1: "recovery" run pace (or warmup or cooldown pace)
Z2: "regular" run pace
z3: harder than that (ok I'm not SO clear on z3)
z4: "race" pace, or as fast as I can run and still sustain it. It's not a sprint, because assumedly you can't just sprint for 20 minutes.
So, I dunno, see what you think.
8.4 miles. 66 minutes. 7:51 per mile. not good enough. sheesh. it's 11 seconds slower per mile than I did in Lavaman. and that was after swimming and biking. odd....
