On the 1/2 mile track. I ran hard for the first time in a while. I wasn't planning on it, but picked it up on the last 2 miles. 6:42 and 6:09. Not exactly scorching the pavement, but I've only been back for about 3 months. It felt pretty good, so I'll call it a successful test. My legs felt fine; turnover was smooth and I was able to push off without any pain.
I will not run hard like this very often since it goes against my plan of becoming a base monster this year. Average HR was a little high. I'm shooting for 135 max on all runs except for longer ones where I expect a little HR creep. 6.09 miles overall. 45:05. 7:24m/m. 139BPM.
