Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170 Goal Weight: 165
Running Since: September 2003
Even though I was running with a purpose in early 2005, I had not read any books to truly understand how to run. I just ran as fast as I could everytime. Thus I was working only my anaerobic system and was running at a high heart rate ( > 165).
In October 2005 I began base training to develop my aerobic system. I primarily followed the method described by Philip Maffetone. There is a good discussion on this method on the Cool Running message boards. I continue to follow the low HR training method but am now mixing in some speed workouts. I am now able to run over 16 miles without much problem at a low HR pace (~9:00/mile @ 145 heart rate). My paces have continued to improve over the last 6 months (average pace for 6 miles at low heart started at ~10:30/mile).
