being a lifelong jogger), and I am making some progress. The benchmark
distance that I usually run in about 14 minutes, I ran today in just
11:24. (this distance is exactly half of my small run). The heart rate
was 144, which is about 77% of MHR. It corresponds to breathing every
6 steps (3 steps in, 3 steps out). Whenever I have more time to run, I
will try to run twice that and include some hills. On weekend, maybe
3x that (which took me 1:35 to run once)What I would like is to learn, now, to run long distances at
approximately this speed without becoming tired too quickly.
If you're really at 77% MHR and maintaining 3-3 breathing, you can probably
hold that pace for a much longer distance.
