Running Again
I went on a 50 minute run with my father today, which was a fun deviation from my solitary workouts. I strapped on a heart rate monitor before I walked out the door just for the fun of it, and I quickly realized why I rarely monitor my heart rate while running. My heart averaged 190 beats per minute for the 5.35 mile run and was over 200 by the time I finished. But I felt okay and I'm still alive, so no permanent damage done. However, in the long run (ha ha), it won't be super effective for me to train at such a high heart rate if I want to improve my aerobic capacity. Thus, I will not run so fast next time. Probably.
