Fast Running Soldier

Picking up the mileage a little bit this week. A half mile a day. Today was also my tempo run at GMP. I hit 5 miles at a 7:13 pace and felt really good. I warmed up the first 1.75 then ran the five miles and slowed down for .75 then cooled down with .23. My average heart rate was 152BPM, i think that is a little lower than usual. I am not sure if my HRM was off a little bit, or I am just getting in better cardio shape. It was nice to see a 158 BPM as I was finishing with the 5 miles.

Today was one of those really encouraging days!

Felt good again today. I took me a minute to feel warmed up, but the rest of the run felt great.

I ran the first mile in about 8:00, then 7:40 pace the next 4.5 and a 7:30 pace the last two. Another good day.

Today felt good again. I am feeling a bit sore in my ankles but once I am warmed up it kind of goes away. I hope I am not injuring myself, but just my body getting used to the higher mileage. It isn't anything terribly painful, just a bit sore.

Today's run was more of a recovery I guess. 8:00 warm up followed by 6.5 miles at 7:40 pace and a cool down .23

Also, does anybody know how to get the different category of miles on the blog? I have seen others that have Marathon Pace Miles, Threshold Miles, etc. I have no idea how to do that and I would like to be able to categorize my miles better. Thanks.

A good run today. Felt good and after warming up with an 8:00 pace I ran the last 6.5 miles at a 7:30 pace.

Another good day. Just kept it at about a 7:40 pace. My average BPM today was 152, I have followed that about all week, so I think I have made another jump.

Long run day...not fun on a treadmill. I averaged about an 8:00 pace for the whole thing. I was trying to pick it up for the final half at a 7:40 pace, but my stomach really started to feel funny, so I had to back off. Otherwise it was a good long run.
