AM: 10.25 miles on the treadmill in 80. HR 148. 

40' Continuous Subthreshold

Stayed inside as the air quality is awful, but I still felt like I was having a little trouble breathing. I started at 8.3 MPH to be conservative and it was about right to start. On par with about 8.6 or 8.7 MPH from previous weeks. Worked my way through every 5-10' at 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7 and then maybe the last 15' or so at 8.8 MPH and into the last 5-8' @ 9.0-9.3 MPH. Slower than previous weeks, but the air felt rough and my turnover felt really off. Got the right effort. Avg. HR 162. 

+ 28' sauna. HR 97. 

+ weights (squats and bench press)

PM: 90' on the trainer. 218W. HR 131. 

3x20' Tempo

Legs were pretty crabby, but they improved. 232, 236, 244. HR 136, 136, 139
