Last night I put together a two month workout plan. I also figured out my 70, 75, 80 & 85% heart rates since the treadmill only shows heart rate and not % of max like my heart rate monitor.

What I realized is that I've been running at about 70% of maximum heart rate. So this morning I decided to do intervals (just three) and I found the best I could do was 80%. The total distance was 1.5 miles. The intervals were at 4.5 on the treadmill scale (which was about 13.5 min/mile pace. It felt good. My legs complained a bit...but I'm sure my body will adapt.


My new workout plan (which I want to run by Cheryl) has me running on the treadmill 3x a week and outside on a trail once a week.

I also decided I need to start swimming on Monday. I can swim Monday and Thursday nights.

For riding, the ideal would be to ride one night a week and once on the weekend with a one morning spin thrown in. The only problem with the schedule is that I can't go out during the week because I have workouts.
