TODAY, RUN FOR 25 MINUTES AT 60% MHR: Practice running as efficiently as you can during your track workout tomorrow. Your head should not bob or bounce, your legs should stride rhythmically, and you should use your arms to maintain the rhythm of your legs. (Of course, you can practice these tips today too, although you'll probably have a few more distractions on the road). Did you know that most heart rate monitors have a built-in stop watch for timing the duration of your runs? Many even keep track of how long you've exercised in a particular heart zone.
