I wanted to focus on one health concern I have discussed in
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ion-26830.html and elsewhere. I have run four times in the last six days and have not yet run two miles without walking. My third heart rate monitor finally measures my heart rate when I am running.
For my route, I run 0.8 miles south, turn around, run one mile north, turn around, and run 0.2 miles back to my starting point. My runs improved Monday and Tuesday, but today when I hit my turnaround point, my heart rate was at 99%, and while I could continue to push myself, I could not push myself for half again further than I just ran, so I walked until my heart rate dropped to 90%, and I guess that you can say I pulsed and glided.

Your target heart rate range (in beats per minute) is:
Beginner: 110 - 136 bpm
Intermediate: 138 - 154 bpm
Advanced: 156 - 172 bpm

ACE Fit | Heart Rate Zone Calculator
156 - 172 bpm is 85 - 93%
BMI Calculator: Measure Metabolism, Target Heart Rate and Belly Fat says that my high-intensity target heart rate is 148-157, 80-85%.
So, never ever ever run again, just walk, because that is my walking rate!
