Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
8.30	0.00	0.00	0.00	8.30

Lunch: 8.3 miles, averaged 7:48. HR 164. Did some strides.

Effort was quite moderate, but I felt pretty good, especially because I am either runnning 10'+ miles mostly or mid- to low-6' for workouts with nothing in between.

PM: 37.2-mile ride. HR 159.

Weird ride that was not combined but things were confusing and the B group leader got dropped (not supposed to happen). I felt terrible, then felt quite good. My strongest ride yet actually. 18.5 MPH for the total ride. 19MPH for the 50k loop. Basically a 2-hour high moderate run effort (but max HR and zones are not equivalent between sports as I understand).

7:48 is an unusual number for you to put up! That's funny, within a minute either way of 8 minute miles is where I live! Welcome to the neighborhood!

I never used to average slower 8:00-8:45. Just gets too hard with higher mileage. That said, I love ripping off a few 7:30s or faster for a regular run! It also changes things when your marathon pace gets significantly faster than you normal easy pace. Also, I�m young but I�m also getting older :-)
