4 miles in 31:38, 7:54/mi, HR 166. Sunny and hot (78F). Another milestone reached....first run where my avg HR was under 170! Today's run didn't feel too bad so I guess things are still getting easier. This is the 8th week of my return to running program and I'm aiming for a total of 20 miles. I think the bicycling sprinkled throughout the week is really helping with boosting my aerobic work....I find it easier to take it easy on a ride versus as run. Core workout & stretching afterwards. |
