Jason (from work) and I did 5.3 miles at lunch today.  We discussed training plans from an engineering perspective.  I think we've boiled training down to a quadratic polynomial equation.  Very simple really.  If there wasn't massive potential to be the first to publish these findings, I'd share them here.

3.5 miles on the treadmill at lunch.  This time my watch reported about 0.06 miles less than the treadmill.  I'll keep tracking to see whether they agree.

I did 4 miles on a gradual incline (2.5%) and tried to keep a consistent effort level.  My heart rate fluctuated between 165 and 179 bpm and here are my splits: 6:56, 6:57, 7:01, 5:54.  The last half a mile was a steep downhill so I sped up to keep my heart rate consistent.  I have to say I'm a little disappointed in my splits on such a gradual incline.  I was hoping I'd be able to sustain a 6:45 pace.

Jason and I did the 4 mile lap around work this morning.  Jason reminded me during our last mile that I was planning on doing a fast last mile.  So at 3.4 miles I took off on a slight uphill grade.  My goal was to do it in 6:00 min and I did it in 5:56 min.  Then cooled down for 0.2 miles and walked back to work for another 10 min or so.

Jason and I started out on the Bonneville Shoreline trail at Hidden Valley Park. The trail was nicely packed snow at first but then some ice started showing up. We decided to turn around and then Jason took a bad fall and hurt his wrist. He said it was fine but after the run he went to get an X ray. Luckily no broken bones.
