\u00a0He has helped my running TONS! \u00a0He&#8217;s a good guy. \u00a0It was just time for fresh eyes and a different approach.<\/p>\n<p>Enter HR\/time training.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Saturday, was my first training run going by my Heart Rate (HR) and time (how long I was running).<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday&#8217;s run was primarily a run to help set up my different HR (Heart Rate) zones. \u00a0I had a set amount of time to run and specifics on what I was to do during each amount of time. \u00a0So, yesterday morning, I went out and followed the directions laid out by my new coach.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I set out on my first &#8220;Official&#8221; training run based solely on HR\/time.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare myself for this kind of training I needed a HRM (Heart Rate Monitor). \u00a0When I purchased my current Garmin (Fenix2) back in 2014, it actually came with a HRM! \u00a0It was a chest strap HRM and that nasty thing chewed up &#8220;the girls&#8221; and left scars. \u00a0I got to the point where I refused to wear it and eventually sold it. \u00a0I hadn&#8217;t really (at that time) been utilizing the information I was getting from it anyway so I wasn&#8217;t sad to see it go. \u00a0Now, I needed a HRM. \u00a0Amazon to the rescue!<\/p>\n<p>I purchased a Mio Link. \u00a0This is a wrist HRM. \u00a0You put on your Garmin and then wear the Mio on your wrist above the Garmin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3957\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3957\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3957\" alt=\"13645193_1028015707318565_99716301808943504_n\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13645193_1028015707318565_99716301808943504_n.jpg\" width=\"206\" height=\"273\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So this morning&#8217;s run was a 45 minute run in the &#8220;green&#8221; zone. \u00a0I ran merrily along with the green light blinking contentedly on my Mio.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my different HR zones: \u00a0Zone 1 is blue. \u00a02: green. \u00a03: yellow. \u00a04: \u00a0purple(?) \u00a05: \u00a0red.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/?attachment_id=3958\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3958\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3958\" alt=\"13702508_10154025169617562_402129326_o (1)\" src=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13702508_10154025169617562_402129326_o-1.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13702508_10154025169617562_402129326_o-1.jpg 1920w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13702508_10154025169617562_402129326_o-1-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13702508_10154025169617562_402129326_o-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/w0ep.us\/TM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13702508_10154025169617562_402129326_o-1-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today I found myself creeping into the yellow without even realizing I was working that hard. \u00a0I guess I&#8217;ve been training a LOT harder than I realized because yellow was feeling pretty easy. \u00a0When I saw the yellow light, I dialed it back a little bit until the green came back. \u00a0It was a solid run and I didn&#8217;t feel beat up at the end.<\/p>\n<p>This is going to be fun!
