Age is just a number.

Finally got around to keeping my blog again after week or so.  Just has not really been a priority lately with events taking place.   It's been a tough year to endure but I am going to keep some sort of positive spin on it all.   I know one thing, I'm a better person for all of this in many ways.  A kinder, less judgemental and a more understanding one at that.  Adversity is like a steel forge in many ways, It can either temper or it can ruin the metal of a person's soul. It all depends on the process and the quality of the steel to begin with I suppose.  I like to think I have come out stronger this time.    Darkhorse out..  

 10 miles total untimed.  Kaysville loop section.

Easy 12 miles tonight on the treadmill at 7-8/min/mile pace.  Warmed up very gradually and worked out the sleepiness in my system. Dreadful feeling not having any caffeine on board for thes runs.. 

I have a question in mind and if anyone would like to have some input or suggestions please do so.  My thought is this;  Lets say I want to increase my vo2 as much as possible while also maximizing recovery time.  Would a schedule of say 5x4 min at mile-two mile race pace followed by two minute recovery with the following days at 1.5 hrs at 75-80% mhr, and then 30-40 minutes of very easy jogging at 60-70% mhr the next be a good route to take? Like I said earlier, I want to focus on the 5-10k race distance.  I don't believe my vascular system and capillary beds will develop much more especially considering my endurance training background.  Anyway it's just a thought that came to me when I woke up this morning. 

Darkhorse out..
