Day 24 (July 24) - Oops I dropped the ball
I have not posted in about a week, primarily because I was busy and then I just forgot. I need to make it a priority to record these as I believe they will help me over the long term see improvements, changes in pace/distance, etc. I have been sticking to my workout plans so that is good news, just not posting the results. I completed an 8 mile run on Saturday, got up about 6 am, and kept it at a slower pace to ensure I am running 2 miles, walking for about 1 minute and then back to running. I did well and completed the run according to plan, however maybe a little slower than I wanted but still with a faster 2nd half split.
This week, I ran on Monday and tried to make it a threshold run. That went horrible. I went out too fast and after 2 miles of closer to sub 9 min miles I had a really hard time on the next 2 miles which were about 10 min / mile pace. Tuesday was Peloton day, which went well. I felt pretty strong on the bike and completed some strength work.
Today was my aerobic run day and I am going to start using these runs as a measure for improvement. Am I able to keep my HRT in the aerobic zone and increase pace over the coming months. I am going to run the same route which is right under 5 miles and evaluate the per mile pace while sustaining most of the run in the aerobic threshold.
Here are the results of todays run:
4.8 Miles, 9:47 pace (20 seconds faster than last week), 153 Avg. HRT (I don't trust the Apple Watch on this one as I noticed a few times it had my heart rate elevated much higher than my effort or how I felt).
