AM-Easy 10 miles out to the trail and back. Just easy in anticipation of working out on "Colossus" tomorrow. 65-75% mhr.
PM-Easy 5 miles on the 7th east out and back. 65-70% mhr. I'm thinking of doing an article on the law of diminuishing returns when it is applied to training and mileage levels. Problem is, there is not a lot of hard evidence on the subject when it comes to elite and sub-elite runners. But for an average control group, studies show that anything beyond 70-80 mpw really does not add much to one's aerobic capacity. However, genetics do play a pretty good role in determining who is a high or a low responder to mega mileage training. Fast vs Slow twitch fiber composition being one of those genetic variables for example. Anyway, a topic for a later place and time. Gotta run.
