AM - 5 miles with Dan from his house with Finn.   Daily training pace is returning to "normal" for me now gradually over the last month.   It is probably the combination of the hamstring issue being nearly resolved, putting in a solid 30-35 days of training over 50 miles per week, and though the humidity and dew points have not really subsided, the sun is now not up until close to the end of the morning runs.   Strava has this "fitness tracker" feature that is individualized with a number the moves up or down with your training and includes the 'relative efforts' that it tracks every day which includes HR and pace per mile and distance covered.   My Strava fitness tracker has shown a 29% increase over the last month - Not sure of the science involved or the accuracy of the conclusions - but I would say that it correlates to how I am feeling and what I am seeing in my default daily running pace.   Just need some cooler weather to blow in now...
