Slow run

Five miles today. I targeted a heart rate of 150, was closer to 155 through most of the run. I finished in 59:49, just barely faster than 12 minutes to the mile.

I can’t say I like going that slowly. It feels just as difficult as 9 minute miles but without the extra fun. I guess the point of this is that eventually I should be able to do 9 minute miles at 150 bpm and then I’ll have the best of both worlds, right?

The other thing I don’t like about this pace is that it feels harder on my knees. Maybe I need to eliminate running and do 5 mile walks. That would be a damn shame, though.
