|||| monitor
|||| *might* be useful (I find htem useful and fun).
|||
||| See my separate post, I just tried distance running today.
|||
||| Instead of a hr monitor, I simply check if I can still talk while
||| running.
|||
|||| The thing that makes all of this so fuzzy is that intensity
|||| depends on the
|||| individual. For example, when I ride my bike over the hilly
|||| terrain around
|||| here, it can be very intense for me due to my weight. However, for
|||| someone
|||| who weighs 60 or 80 lbs less, that same route would be much less
|||| intense, so
|||| they would likely do it with greater speed.
|||
||| I completely understand. My issue is sustaining modest intensity,
||| not high intensity.
|||

||

|| 50 pounds less (or more -- I'm guessing) blew by me. It's nice to

hehe...yeah....and don't forget age!

My question is, can anyone offer relevant personal experiences here?

I ran the 2002 NYC marathon to celebrate by 40th birthday. Up
until that time, and after that time, my primary training focus
is with strength training. I wasn't looking for great making a
fast run but to learn how to train for endurance.

Google my name from July through December 2002, within ASDLC and
you'll find my experience documented.
