Age is just a number.

Easy 8 miles at 7:30-8/min mile.  Out and back to the air force base.  Nice and pleasant today with fairly warm temps for December.  Did some mild speed work consisting of 6x100 meters at 90% effort to shake out some things.  Just blowing some carbon out of the engine so to speak.   Dark Horse out..

High end LT session with 4x4 minutes at 10-5k effort. 2 minute recovery interval. THR zone at 146-162 range.  Workout went really well with a last quarter in 73 sec.  Quick cooldown and then for my strength session I broke down a 600 case delivery at work!  I do that 3 times a week in addition to some light high rep weights at home.   It's getting dark now so gotta get out and run.  Tired tonight...

                Dark Horse out.

Medium-hard progressive run tonight. 5:30-6:30/mile pace over the course of the run.

75-85% mhr ending at 90% mhr roughly for the last mile. 2 mile cooldown at 8-10min/mile pace.  Felt strong again which is a good sign.  Hopefully I can start faster paced VO2 workouts later on.  Experimenting with my training this time instead of taking the traditional base building method.  

The runner in the profile frame is none other than the legendary Steve Jones.  Jones is my all time favorite runner mainly because of his fearless style both on and off the track.  Few runners with the exception of maybe Pre and Salazar had more guts than Jonesy.  

          Dark Horse out..

Easy 5 miles recovery on the treadmill at 8/min mile pace.  Kinda boring, First time I have almost fallen asleep while running on a treadmill!

Crosstraining today with weights and the bike.  No run today. Tomorrow a Vo2 workout with 4x5 min hard at 10-5k effort/4min rest jog.   The ideal situation would be to find some hills to do these repeats on in order to exaggerate and reinforce running form.
