Well, interesting experiment this weekend. I somehow figured out that my anaerobic threshold is 160 (85% of 190). So, I figured I'd be running "aerobically" if I just stayed beneath that number. Well, I hit it too hard in the first hour, jogging some of the smaller ups. My heart was thumping. I walked all the ups for the rest of the run. Hit a groove in the last half hour, just cruising, running till hr hit 160, then walking. Felt good, though tired. Felt good to run, especially after I walked. Clipped along at 8:30-9/mile. Overall, I felt tired, but I feel fine today the day after. NB 809's are finished. Hurt feet too bad.

Barefoot: ran .35 barefoot at end of run. Fine, no sprains, strains, or pains. Today, ankle feels stiff and a bit sore but overall good. Will run tomorrow with same strategy, or maybe do low hr. Not sure, still playing around with the ideas. May do low hr most of the time then hit a couple of more intense runs, doing my longer runs at a faster pace, a mid week and a weekend long run at faster paces as I want to race long distances faster. Sounds good, we'll see if it's too intense.
