I bought a heart rate monitor last year, the polar m52 and i love it. you set up a target heart rate zone, which it does auotmaticaly. and you just start running when you fall out of that zone an alarm goes off letting you know you need to pick up your speed or if you exerting your self too much the alarm goes off telling you to slow down, that only happend once.

Last year at this time I was running 30 to 50 miles a week. for 3 miles i was usually getting around 18 to 20 mins, for 5 miles 35 to 40 mins, i never did an 8 mile run but for 11 miles i was usually getting around an hour and half. As for shoes for that 5 month training period i went throught 3 pairs of the same shoe, its also a good idea to have a back up pair for when they got wet and muddy. And even now i have a back up pair of the same shoe, you would be amaised out how much they get worn down just after a few weeks. also don't forget to have rest days, after i trained my ass off for months i ended up with a stress fracture and a desk job, Happy running
