4-2 Day...3 miles

Three easy miles today. Done in 29:58.

What do I mean by easy? If you run without a heart rate monitor, that means run at pace that allows you to talk while you run. If you can't because you are breathing too hard, than slow down.

Another way to do it is to find out your exercise zones and use a heart rate monitor. There are ways to guess-timate what your zones are but the best way is to do a VO2 Max test.

The VO2 Max test will determine the level of exercise at which your body uses oxygen. Check at your local running store or fitness center for help.
