AM: 8.9 miles on the treadmill, averaged 9:01. HR 152.
Watch shorted me again. I guess I could calibrate it or use my footpod if I can find it. Solid workout. A good deal faster than last week though I was feeling out the paces then. I think the effort was just right on this one. I was hanging on the last few minutes of 15' but it wasn't bad. I did rethink a final speed change, but that was fine.
20' + 15'
5' each @ 8.6, 8.8, 9.0, 9.2; 5' very slow jog; 5' @ 9.2, 10' @ 9.4
I was hoping to do the 15' @ 9.2, 9.4, 9.6, but hte 9.4 was plenty and I knew I could get through the 5' @ that, but knew one more speed change wasn't going to work and even thought of cutting it back to 9.2, but hung on. HR was creeping into the lower 180s, so challenging but not impossible, but when your fitness returns and your hydration is good and your RHR is low, sometimes that 180 hits a bit harder.
20' up/20' down
PM: 60' on the trainer. 137W. HR 103.
