AM: 12 miles on the treadmill, averaged 7:39. HR 151.

12x3' Subthreshold 

35' progressive warm-up, then 2 each @ 8.8, 8.9, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 MPH w/ 45" recoveries. Solid session. Closer to threshold the last handful of reps, but the reps were short, so likely not too much accumulation. 

PM: 4.5 miles, averaged 9:00. HR 134. 

Did 4 x 200 in 44, 43, 42, 41. Man, I remember when I could do 6-8 x 200 in about 38-34 without too much problem. I do think this is one missing piece of trying to regain fitness is my lack of legs speed and power.
