my sophomore has been training for cross country at this crushed gravel path that's a 9.5 mile loop with some pretty steep inclines and declines. he makes me feel like such a fat f#&*.

You should train with him. Give him the impression you’re actually interested in his life.

Might try MAF training. My heart rate and breathing never improve.

Can explain these stats? Does 8.5 @ 9.45 mean an average of 9.45 mins per mile?

That's exactly right.

movement is totally winning.

Yeah, buddy, just getting out and doing something is what matters. The movement is the win!

I do trust the man who eats oatmeal every morning to know a thing about the benefits of movement

I can’t keep my heart rate down to save my life. Imma keep trying though.

7.25 @ 9:04 in 67 degrees

Cooler temps and lower humidity take make a huge difference for me.

Total miles per month so far this year:

JAN - 73.3
FEB - 70.6
MAR - 48
APR - 50.3
MAY - 67.7
JUN - 92.3
JUL - 100.4

I took a full 7 - 10 days off from running in both March and May because of travel. I have no excuse for April.

At the end of the day, I find the elliptical machine has pretty much replaced my running because it's effective and less demanding.

I still run from the cops and my ex-wife, though.
