14 miles in 1:44:29, 7:27/mi, HR 157. First 60 min+ run in a few weeks went well. 1000'+ elevation gain the first 7 miles, steeper the last couple of miles, then turned around and stretched out on the downhills. Feel good about fitness level starting Base Training again....not at marathon peak but not too far off, so should be able to build through the winter months (and don't seem to have lost as much as I did coming off May's marathon). Feeling good about getting back to 5+ days/week running again. |
