AM/Lunch: 2.5 hours on the trainer. 243W. HR 143
90' Wave Tempo: 15' SS/15' Tempo Float
Decided to do a workout. Wanted another three hours, but didn't leave quite enough time. Planned to do 2 hours of alternating, but in the last sweet spot segment, my legs just weren't firing, like they had run out of glycogen. Called it there and did 30' at honest zone 2 power.
Needed to use a different course as the flowing, rolling hills made sustaining consistent effort hard and the power was a bit up and down. My HR only hit 161 for the high, so I wasn't pressing too hard aerobically at all. Some of the harder 15' efforts could have averaged well into the 160s.
Foot feels much improved. Ice and pain reliever has helped a lot.
I think I am going to skip the Grand Rapids half. They want $135 and although I have the money and realized races cost money to put on, I am just not sure I want to spend that much on a race I'll run a mediocre time on. So I think I am officially at 12 weeks of basebuilding before the start of the year, which is just fine with me. I think I might try to pick up a race before Iceman and see where I am at.
