Heart Rate Running

[Sweder]

Ah yes - 'Long, slow runs produce long, slow runners' or something like that.
That's as maybe, but this HR malarky sounds like a good way to build a strong, lasting base fitness. I'm in this for the long haul - thinking about exceeding the 26.2 in 2007, probably in the Two Oceans in Cape Town.

The last three years have been a bit Norman Lamont - boom and bust.
Frantic uncontrolled training leading to heroic, death-defying madness followed by months of enforced abstainance. I need to break the cycle, even if it means shelving plans for a PB next Spring. Like Toad I'm ready to embrace the next Big Thing (although this is hardly new). This from the man who almost died 3 years ago attempting his inaugural Kite Surf on the Dorset coast under an 8.5 metre wing in a force 5.
