Tough 8 mile tempo run at the track today with beginning miles in 5:38 all the way down to 5:16 for the last one today. 13 miles total. Some stiffness and a tight IT band this morning but other than that, nothing to worry about. I noticed a measurable rise in my threshold however as I was hitting a 165-168 bpm heart rate actually toward the end. I really did not feel like I was carrying the bear on my back yet. Encouraging... Darkhhorse out. |
