AM-Draper loop for 6 miles up past Salt Lake Runnning company multisport store. 40:17. PM- MAP test on the treadmill-Legs still don't feel quite recovered yet. However heart rate data seems to have improved since the last time. Ran easy with 1 percent incline at the following paces, 7min pace-118-120 bpm. 6:30/mi- 129-130bpm, and 6min/mi-138-142 bpm. Estimated MAP pace-5:52/mi. down 8 secs/mi from the last test. May conduct a few more tests to get a mean. 6 miles total with warmup and cooldown. temp-70 degrees F. It will be interesting to note any changes in a few weeks after the taper and when the training has been absorbed. According to "experts" 6 weeks of training at a given level with a 3 week window period after a given training bout is needed before any changes become measurable. They may be right, however I think mental and neurological changes can occur as soon as one 24hr period. Changes in running economy are probably the largest to occur. I guess we will see with a couple more tests.
