AM: 4.6 miles, averaged 9:39. HR 138.

3 x 6' Subthreshold

I don't remember my HRs but I have them somewhere. I did these at 7.2. I had planned on my 5 x 6' and about 65-75' of running buy Sawyer left one of his shoes at home, so I had to drop it off. 

PM: 6.4 miles, averaged 9:23. HR 146.

Friel Test

Warmed up 20, did 10' pretty steady around 158 BPM and then did the 20' portion @ 168 BPM. I think both were slightly conservative, but I think LTHR at 168 is pretty close. Maybe slightly higher around 171-173, but now I know. HR got up to 182, so my max is slightly higher than that but not too much.
