I've been doing the MAF thing (low zone cardio) since last months 10K. I'm happy that I can do a slow jog and keep my heartrate consistently low. Last year I had to alternate walking and jogging to stay in my MAF zone. But this week Kel came back from college. With my jogging partner home I feel compelled to run a little harder. The MAF thing is so easy that it gets a little boring. The last two runs I've tossed the MAF workout aside and run with a little more pace.

Tuesday's 5K at the Y:

Mile 1 pace: 12:25 min/mile
Mile 2 pace: 11:34 min/mile
Mile 3 pace: 11:03 min/mile
.1 mile "sprint" to the finish: 7:32 min/mile
Total time: 35:48
Avg HR: 146
Overall average pace: 11:33

Today's 2.5 mile outdoor run at the school track:

Mile 1 pace: 11:09 min/mile
Mile 2 pace: 11:57 min/mile
.5 mile jog to the finish: 11:59 min/mile
Total time: 29:09
Avg HR: 164
Overall average pace: 11:38
