I kept the pulse at 140 for all of it, except for the last 10min of the 60min runs, where i upped the speed. My second 60min run was much easier:
Tread Mill - 1%

4 | 4:59.9 | 136 | 141
5 | 4:59.8 | 137 | 140
6 | 5:01.2 | 141 | 143
7 | 5:06.6 | 140 | 143
8 | 5:06.8 | 141 | 143
9 | 5:10.7 | 140 | 142
10| 5:10.6 | 145 | 154
11| 4:16.3 | 156 | 158
12| 4:05.7 | 160 | 163
Total: 59:53.8
138/163 AHR/MHR
Despite my speed in the last 10min, my HR didn't rise too much. It was a different treadmill than usual, but the speed felt about right. Hard to say for sure though.
Overall - a little boring...but I've been finding that for all the easy runs as of late...Part of the problem of running on the treadmill.
As for the strength training....Re Squats: Roger that. I'll avoid them +/- 1 day around the 1 and 2k sessions, probably the 400m and 5k paced run as well...I agree with you on the body weight vs barbells as far as injury risk is concerned. I'm a beginner with the barbells, and as such have been taking the weight progression pretty slowly so as to concentrate on form. I've been following the 'starting strength' program by Mark Rippetoe - as such, i haven't been working out to failure, which has also lessened my chance of injury i suspect (not pushing the weights too high). Deviating from the program, I haven't been pushing the weight up as much as i could each week in part because i'm still learning the movements.
Thanks for all the help!
