[QUOTE="Commander Keen, post: 3024723, member: 9126"] [USER=42224]@Annie[/USER] I think you're fine picking up the cardio as long as you feel up to it. Keeping track of your resting HR is a great step; if mine goes up by 4-5 bpm for a couple days I usually take it as a sign I need an extra easy day, or even a day off. I obviously didn't start where I'm at now, but I have averaged running ~65 miles a week the last 6 weeks (since training for fall races began), and ~50 mpw for the year. It's about 75-90 minutes on weekdays, with 2+ hours one weekend day. The vast majority of my running is very easy (<80% of max HR, or <70% of heart rate reserve), with maybe 20% harder than that. FWIW, heart rate reserve is my preferred method of tracking HR during exercise. Keeping the intensity fairly low most of the time is the key to volume with cardio (and most other things). [/QUOTE]
