I went to the track at River Bank State Park and ran 6 miles @ 8:05 - 8:15 pace. My heart rate was between 139 and 142 bpm. This was an easy run at my "easy run" heart rate. I use this website as my source for paces and heart rates: http://www.teamoregon.com/publication/online/wizard.php

My plan is to do easy runs from 6 to 10 miles five days a week and twice a week do a VO2 max workout. My goal is to do 800s at my 2 mile race pace (based on my easy run pace) For example, with 8:15 as my easy run pace, my VO2 max 800s should be run at 5:54 mile pace. I plan on doing that workout Friday or Saturday.
