Garmin The Great!

I am in awe of my new running toy. It's a Garmin 301 and it's pretty cool. I've had it for about a month now and already I can track my progress. I've noticed that my heart is acting different from one run to the next. On Tuesday I ran 6km at about 5:05/km and my heart rate was 164bpm average which is about 80% of my MHR (max. heart rate). On Wednesday I was to run 10km at the same rate (80% MHR) and I did (162BPM) but my pace was much slower. My pace on Wednesday was 5:45/km. I am guessing that being tired was my big problem.

My body is taking a beating right now. I am doing ball classes on Monday and Fridays (with Mary and Kate) and training for the marathon every other day. Tuesday and Wednesday are my hardest days with Tempo runs on both days.

Need Rest,

Ryan.
