Something I’m learning each time I challenge myself. Although we do get older, and our time and performance may not be what we remembered, but hopefully we will always discover something new within ourselves with the journey to new limits. I like what Olga said about “no limit at no age”. After all, we are Ultra-Runners and limits have no set boundaries.<BR/>Please share more about HR zones and training. Not something I spend a lot of time with, but now curious after reading about how you have yours so dialed in and under control. I need to look into this and monitor closer during my runs.<BR/>Awesome job and congrats with the PR,<BR/>TABThomas Bussierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899700970910705118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-59899843854748161852009-01-26T12:42:00.000-08:002009-01-26T12:42:00.000-08:00Damn, we wrote same first 2 sentences!

You have enough examples to figure it out yourself!<BR/>As for food - it's kale, mushrooms, bean sprouts, plantain, red yum, onions.<BR/>And no, I am still sick, worse today than yesterday. May be I'll take tonight off:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-64371275301499984262009-01-26T00:05:00.000-08:002009-01-26T00:05:00.000-08:00Congrats on a solid race and PR.

Don't underestimate the extra stress from running in cold and slushy conditions!<BR/><BR/>I love all the technical stuff about heart rate zones and training, but am still new to all of it. I'd love to be able to get my heart working that hard, but I don't think it wants to. On the other hand, improving running economy will give you better speed even without the higher heart rate. I am betting you will keep improving for years to come!<BR/><BR/>CynthiaDrs.

I agree that the slush was an obstruction, but otherwise the course and race was positive. I will post a race report soon, once I get some sleep and perspective!<BR/><BR/>Again, great job!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136959009114830309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426765907755945845.post-66074608721974156172009-01-25T21:37:00.000-08:002009-01-25T21:37:00.000-08:00Nice!
