AM - easy 3 miles - need to describe this as a shake out because for some reason I was really achy and sore when I went to bed last night and that continued this morning. Not sure why.
PM - moderate to easy aerobic run with Richie at lunchtime around Carillon and Feathersound. Quite warm / summer-like conditions. Felt tight when we started, but did not notice much after that as we were engrossed in conversation the entire run. 7.25 miles. | | Comments(2) |

PM - 4 easy miles at lunchtime - with a plan for a longer run after work. Tried to get up early to do the longer run, but I just wasn't feeling right. Shorter run at lunchtime was quite pleasant even in the heat.
PM - 11.5 miles on the treadmill at the Y. All aerobic, felt very smooth. | | Add Comment |

AM - easy untimed, just about 5 miles this morning before work. Less humid, very pleasant enjoyable run.
PM - had a very nice run at 3/4 effort or between 75-80% HRR - which turned out to be right at 6:49 ppm on the treadmill (which has been my goal MRP for the last few races). 8.5 miles. Never in recent memory have I felt so smooth and in control at that pace. So, I have to credit the immersion into the Lydiard training. Lots of well-thought aerobic miles - and using the HRM to properly place me in the right zone.
Three weeks ago in the Paris Marathon, I could not maintain a pace any faster than 7:05 at a HR at near 85%. Early last week, I struggled to even run 7:40 pace without my HR blowing up. Yesterday I ran 16 miles in two runs at a very manageable aerobic pace of 70% HR and my body actually felt better after than before.
Ok - enough evangelizing. I actually just feel a bit silly that I had not fully understood and tapped into this sooner. It is obvious to me now - that I have run a lot of miles over the years at anaerobic paces without enough balance of aerobic miles to permit good performance. I am excited to see where this goes. | | Comments(2) |
