I like this starting out slow, moving up and then coming back down. I need to work on going all the way up to 6.0 or more and then working down again. On Friday when I got my assessment done, I was told that my cardiovascular was not very good and the only way to improve it was to work more in zone 3. I am not sure what my zones are but I think that I was working more in the 4 and 5 zones. I want to focus the next couple weeks on getting my runs in but also working on the cardiovascular. This is also why I am trying these slower speeds. I am finding that I am most comfortable in 5.2 or 5.4 which is not as fast as I would like but the goal is to finish not be the fastest marathon runner! My run felt really good today.
