Week 5 day 2 completed today! I think the longer runs are starting to agree with me. When I run on the treadmill I always put a towel over the timer because I find looking at the clock really distracting. I only look at the clock when I'm starting to feel tired or think I'm close to the end. During both 8min runs I only had about a minute to go which is a huge improvement! It'll be interesting to see how I go on the 20minute run, congratulations to those who completed it. And Colts324ever 15minutes is pretty damn good!0

Finished week 6 today. (doing it on the treadmill) Didn't think I could do the 25 minute run (more like a jog for me-4.2mph, yes, I'm slow) I did have to take a 30 second break about half way through but got going again and felt good.
Still struggling with keeping my heart rate in the zone though. Watching my breathing has helped but if I'm not gasping for air and don't feel sick or anything, is it ok to be over? According to my HRM my max is 154. Today I topped out at 160, but only for the last couple of minutes. That should be ok don't ya think?0 -

Week 5 is complete!! The run felt great. I psyched myself up mentally, made a great 30minute playlist of songs to focus on and just ran. I'm a little behind but oh well, bring on week 6!!Still struggling with keeping my heart rate in the zone though. Watching my breathing has helped but if I'm not gasping for air and don't feel sick or anything, is it ok to be over? According to my HRM my max is 154.

An easy equation to find your maximum heart rate is 220 - your age. I checked your age on your profile so your max HR should be around 179 which means you're not going over at all and doing just fine! Mine's 192 and i hover around 150-160 while running, the highest I've ever reached is 177.0 -
I need to check out the info for my HRM. I think maybe it says 154 is my max to keep it aerobic. I'm thinking over that and I may be anaerobic. Not sure but I'll do a little investigating. When it gets up there I feel fine so I'm not too worried about it.0
