13.13 miles in 1:40:00, 7:36/mi, HR 154. 30 minute warmup, 40 minute Fartleks (5 x 5 minutes on/3 minutes off), 30 minute cooldown. Fartleks: .77 (6:31/mi, uphill/flat), .86 (5:49/mi, flat/downhill), .73 (6:52/mi, uphill), .79 (6:21/mi, rolling/flat), .78 (6:27/mi, rolling/flat), avg HR 173. Tried to keep on portions of Fartlek between 5 & 10K effort...honestly felt more like 5K for much of the session. Was wanting it to end by repeat 3, but repeats 4 and 5 felt better...perhaps just getting used to speedwork again? Luckily, the rains had come to wash away much of the snow on the roads. Unfortunately, during the cooldown on the way back the rains came again, then the hail, then the heavy wet snow so that I was soaked and cold by the time I made it back home. Oh, and the winds decided to blow periodically, usually in my face as I was running an uphill stretch. Yippee! Brooks Adrenaline (Yellow) - 252.13 miles. |
