ran church loop. Started out faster than normal. Wasn't really sure what to expect. got 4 hours sleep last night, worked all day, then went to my wife's ultrasound (we are having our 4th boy we found out, due july) then went to 4 hours of school. So I didn't get on my run till about 10pm. Anyway, started out faster than normal but it felt right so I kept it. ran the first 1.5 at marathon pace, about 7:00. then I really got at it and did some low 6:00 and even sub 6:00 for another 3 miles. started my cool down back down to marathon pace which felt great and then when i finished the loop felt like adding more so I ran around the neighborhood for anther .9 for a real cool down. I decided after today to kind of change my time measurement of how I log my miles -Really just define it a bit more. I have been doing it kind of by time but also by feel. So here it is... over 7:15 is easy miles. 6:40-7:00 are marathon. 6:20-6:40 are threshold. sub 6:20 are VO2 Max. I just ran painters half at 1:26, about a 6:30 pace. So if anyone thinks I should log differently let me know. |
