AM-Had to be up awful early today, like 4:15 am in order to get the run in with having to drop off a vehicle and getting to work earlier for a CEO arrival. 10 miles total this morning in 1:04:56. Uptempo on the return trip. 6-7/min/mi. 7th east route.
PM-Easy-medium effort run on the treadmill tonight. 6 miles total at 6-7/min/mi. Progressive from mi 2-5. Very slow warmdown to help maximize aerobic gain. Strides at the end for turnover. Training heart rate seems to have improved a couple of beats per minute. Noticed improvement in resting and standing heart rates as well. RHR-36 bpm. Standing-40-42bpm. 6min/mi at 1% -142-144 bpm. Overall decreased effort tonight for the run. Good sign especially this soon after a marathon. Recovery is not quite as good as after Salt Lake, but I am still making gains it seems which really excites me for the possibility of a really good marathon in St George. Knock on wood right? |
