Running in the right heart rate zone takes away some of the joy of running. I don't feel free to just go and play - it's not like dancing or snowboarding, it's like work.
But I pretty much did it - I think I exceeded my HR cap three times - once because we had to sprint to get across the street before a light changed - but my average ended up being 142, so I was good there.
I'm really looking forward to the end of base training. Already. That's pretty sad, huh?
Oh, and yesterday Danielle played "Canned Heat" in indoor cycling - which of course spiked my HR immediately out of zone because, well, when that song plays, I've got to dance!

Being free is a good thing. I really enjoy my long runs when I wear my HR monitor because I try to keep it below 150, which really helps me enjoy the run. I can see how it can be frustrating for some though.
Keeping the HR down during indoor cycling is the worst- yet on the trainer, I barely go out of zone at all.
