Today's run:
- 5 min warmup walking
- 30 min with a HR limit of 142, with 8 strides
- 5 min cool down walking
I was actually invited to happy hour tonight (people seem to forget I exist at work... however, the one time I'm invited is also the same time this annoying girl shows up with the intention of happy hour. sigh). I was supposed to run tonight with Will (on flat trails) but instead I ran during my lunch. The trail at work is the opposite of flat, with a big long climb and some rollers.
It turns out, it's impossible to run with a heart rate of 142 up a hill.
I forgot my MP3 player today. Turns out, that wasn't a problem since my Garmin was beeping at me nearly constantly to slow down. I attempted to lower my HR by slowing down (like I did Sunday) but it really wasn't working. I let my garmin beep at me 3-4 times, then I'd run one of my strides, and then I'd walk until my HR went down to ~138, then I'd run again. And repeat the scenario.
I was really focusing on running slow and smooth but my watch kept beeping at me. Very frustrating. Hopefully this gets easier over time.
