Just kidding , if you are holding 8:40 average for a few miles already that’s not bad at all.[/quote]
Make that 8:06 as of today[/quote]
That’s great. Faster than I run an average base run.
Do you have a heart rate monitor to tell you how hard you are working? Perceived effort? How would that compare to if you really raced the same distance? You run every day right? Daily run effort should usually be about 70% as hard as a 5k. Thats kind of a generally accepted point of view for every day recreational runners, which I think you said you are, but certainly not set in stone. Do you warm up some? Or going from zero to 8:06 per minute feels o.k.?
Did I give you an idea for something else to buy? I like Garmin running watches. .
