45 minutes on stationary bike

Still running about 5-7 miles a day and slowly improving with the lower HR stuff. It's somewhat monotonous.  I am weight training 3 times a week and don't monitor my HR on those days so I'm wondering if that affects aerobic improvement too. Anyway, I plan on sticking with it for another week and if no significant change, I'll return to my normal plan of MWF with the group and a tempo or speed day on one of the other days. Running slow and alone is not much fun.

Wanted to share this with the blog. May have already been mentioned but it's a fun read. 

Usual route up to 2nd ave to V Street to 11th and down Memory Grove. 

Memory Grove to V Street with a little tacked on at the end.

I've got a case of the Mondays.

Ran thru Holladay in the rain. Was time pressed but was happy to finally run a bit quicker, felt really good on the run.

South Temple to V Street and down the grove. Felt good.

Did a strength training session and wasn't planning on running but decided to do a little treadmill session.

Workout was 8 x .25 at 12 mph 1%

Once it got up to speed I jumped on and did a rep then stradled for a minute and repeated.

In theory, this would be a 75 second quarter mile with only one minute of rest. I plan on going to the track next week and seeing if I can do 8 x 400 in 75 sec average with a one minute standing rest. Doubtful but possible.
