RE: 2019 new year resolution timetable: setting the bar low for guaranteed success!
Looks like a great plan!
I just rebooted my running and am finally committing to keeping in the aerobic zone for all my longer training runs (heart rate = 180 - age).
That's a good goal!
8 always end up pushing my heart rate too high! 160 odd for a run! I should calm it down.

That's exactly where I end up on a run...160s.
The trouble is it feels more satisfying to grind at a higher HR -- a little sweat, you don' feel like your dying, and then you have a little bit of a runner's high afterward -- nice and relaxed. We essential train our brains to associate that with a good workout. I knew about this years ago, but it wasn't until I read parts of Primal Endurance by Mark Sisson that I fully understood why it mattered and was willing to commit to it.
For me, if I don't believe strongly in the why, I don't bother.
Happy trails!
I'll have to give that a read. Im totally endorphine dependent when it comes to running.
Cycling however, I'm much more conent to cycle at 140-150 BPM.
Cheers! I'll look it up! Maybe more cycling in 2019?!?
