Very few people know that 11 is my lucky number, or rather, my lucky number twice. :) So, what better day to start fresh with my training and set some new goals than the one day that is nothing but my lucky number, and also happens to be Veteran's Day, another day that is special to me and my family.
As you know from my previous post that I am learning more about VO2 Max training and using my heart rate as a training indicator. From what I'm reading, I'm really intrigued, and very anxious to see how it will work and if I'll have similar results as others that swear by Daniels' Running Formula.
I plan on running today using his theory, but will not start the plan until Monday. I know that it will be a challenge to run at a slower pace than I'm used to since I am so time/pace driven, but need to give the plan a shot. It wants you to start at that slower pace to build a good base for more improvement later. I think it also has something to do with burning fat and sugar. With the pace that I've been training at lately I'm burning more sugar than fat and will fatigue faster than if I were training my body to burn fat. So, starting out slow will help me to be able to run longer and eventually as I improve that pace will come up without pushing me into that sugar burning level. At least that's my understanding of it. I may need more clarification or perhaps the cliff's notes version. :)
I will try and post my progress here, but we all know I get side-tracked and frequently forget to update this. Happy Running!
