Coach Cornett is a coach certified by the Road Runners Club of America. He has been a marathon distance coach for 20 years. Chuck will also be a featured speaker at the Runners Seminar on Saturday, May 5. Coach Cornett's Training Schedule Use a Heart Rate Monitor. Don't worry about pace.
Pace is dependent on conditioning, climate, elevation, etc.
As you become more fit, pace will increase. Maintaining proper heart rate is vital. Monitor daily heart rate when you awake. If your rate is 20 percent above your usual rate, cancel all workouts until the rate is normal. If you ran the first 10 miles too fast, you won't be able to do this.
