Long Slow Runs
Until I digest all of the reading materials on the various programs and strategies, I'm going out for long, slow runs at low heart rates. So I guess you could say I'm adopting a blend of Hadd's and Maffetone's programs until further notice. This entails running long and slow at a HR of between 128 and 136, which isn't easy. At first it felt almost like walking and was easier to do on a treadmill than on the trail. However, after a week of staying with it, it's become easier and I noticed today's pace was picking up at a lower HR than the other days. It's way to early to tell, but this may be the one. Build up slow mileage and the aerobic threshold before moving to intervals and speed work.
