AM: 120' on the trainer. 212W. HR 126.
3 x 5' Anaerobic Over Unders
30" hard, 4' vo2 max, 30" hard as you can go. These were supposed to be something like 590 watts/336 watts/590 watts, but I wasn't getting there. I did not expect the 4' efforts to be that high. I figured 100% of threshold or slightly over, not 112-115% or whatever it was. Good session even if I wasn't able to fully hit the numbers. Mostly zone 2 other than the recoveries and a short warm up and cool down.
Megan left for Baltimore this morning. I will try to get my run in after class and before picking the boys up from school, otherwise I will see if they will behave for my mom long enough to squeeze in an hour.
PM: 8 miles, averaged 8:01. HR 136.
Felt fantastic. Had just enough time to run before getting boys after class. Ran about 8:20 for the first mile and sped up organically. My strides feels the best it has felt in years. 7:30 pace feels better than maybe it ever has. HR was right around 145 for those last miles, so basically my zone 2 has gone from 7:50-8:45 to something like 7:20-8:00.
Got the boys off to school, but it was a little stressful. Not that it surprises me, but Megan and I rely on each other a lot to take care of the boys.
