I CANNOT STAND wearing my HR monitor when I run. It is painful, distracting and annoying. I do not enjoy my run and I am never paying attention to form or how I FEEL. Rather I'm a slave to this damn monitor and I really don't want to deal with it anymore.
Anyway, tonight was a 90 minute run on the treadmill at FFC North Avenue. I think I am learning the ways as far as parking, etc. FFC-NA has free parking for the first 2 hours, but after that it's $9. FFC-GC has paid parking $2.75 for the first 2 hours and $3.75 for the first 3 hours... so if I'm in and out in 2 hours- North Avenue all the way.... but if I've got a longer workout, I'm going to head to Gold Coast. At FFC-Pine Grove, I was able to find free street parking, so that's cool all together too, but their pool is awful, so I can't be for a pool workout (15 meter pool won't cut it!).
Anyway, tonight's run was 5 minute walking warm up, 10x 4 minute zone 2 build, 1 minute walking and then 6x 10minute zone 3 build with 1 minute walking. I know, this doesn't add up to 90 minutes, but over 2 hours. It confused me too! I just did the warm up, the 10x and however many of the 6x until I hit 1:25 and then I walked to cool down.
The best part was that I got out of there within 2 hours (unshowered, yes) so parking was free. No matter since tomorrow morning I have to be up at 6am to get to Train for an hour ride at 6:30am!!
