I have been doing MAF training for the last 2 months where you try to maintain a low heart rate during your run/walk.  The target heart rate is 180 - your age so for me, 128.  You do the math.

We finally have some coolness in the morning here in South Texas.  I know the 60 degree weather helped me on my 5K yesterday.  This morning, my MAF numbers were 30 - 45 seconds faster per mile than Friday.  Friday was not real warm but it was in the mi

I was reading a blog by Jeff Galloway and he has an article about burning fat through running.  In the article he mentioned that runners often don't lose weight because to support running, the body stores extra glycogen, fluids and increased blood volu

I warmed up this morning doing 1 mile on the elliptical and then went for my morning run/walk.  I decided to try to see how far I could run without doing my usual run/walk.  I ended up doing 5k in a personal best time of 36:24.  I don't know if I have
