Then 1/wk where I do a speed run, usually a 5k, and HR is redlined. I rarely do any aerobic workouts because they make me feel lazy. If I made my saturday long run an aerobic one, would that be enough?
One more question. On the run where my HR was reading very high but perceived exertion was much lower it was 100 degrees and I was probably not well hydrated. Could those conditions be a cause?

Most people recommend 1 long, 1 tempo, 1 track and 1-2 recovery runs during a week.
