AM/Lunch: 12 miles on the treadmill, averaged 7:35. HR 149. 

6x8' Subthreshold

I was going to do a steady aerobic 90' run but decided with more limited time tomorrow, I would get another session in. Got the effort just right. Turnover didn't feel smooth, but effort was spot on. 8.5 MPH ---> 9.0 MPH w/ 1' recoveries. HR 156, 159, 158, 160, 162, 163.

Not doing the ride tonight due to limited time, but that's okay. I haven't made too many TNDs this summer, but there is still fall time. Trying to get my volume up for running anyway and I guess try to extend my saddle time on any ride day. I feel a slight increase in running volume, 1-2 runs per week of steadier aerobic running, and leg speed/turnover are the missing pieces.
