[quote=Anonymous]Do you use a heart rate monitor? If not, you really should. You may not be pushing yourself hard enough and the heart rate monitor will help you do so. Ideally you would do a treadmill heart rate test with a trainer or coach to identify your zones but you can figure it out yourself as well online. I would start out being able to run the 3.1 miles at a "comfortable" pace so keeping your heart rate around 70 % of your Max heart rate. Once you can do that, start pushing the envelope and trying running the 2nd half at 80% of your max heart rate. When you get more conditioned you'll be able to push it even more. And watch some videos on you tube to make sure your form is good. Try to stay light on your feet. Don't give up. I was a terrible runner but have improved dramatically. I'm 42 so no spring chicken. Three years ago I could barely run 3 miles at 10 min pace. Last week I ran 10 miles at a nine minute pace. [/quote]
