AM: 13.4 miles, averaged 8:57. HR 129.
Two hours, very easy. Enjoyable run. Checked out a few side roads I have never been down just to explore a bit. It rained slightly, but it felt good.
Week 4 day 7 complete. This is four weeks of relaxed easy running. Everything is feeling good. I am really ready to do some slightly faster stuff, even just some stronger aerobic stuff at the end of a run, but I am willing to see this experiement through for at least a few more weeks. It would probably be fine to do some runs with a slightly stronger, but very under control pace, but I am trying to be patient and just see how well this works. Right now I have got time on my hands as I finish up the last few weeks of peak bike racing season. I'd like to go until the end of the year just to see what several consistent months of solid aerobic base training can do. I am afraid with all the time off over the last five years, I have eroded mine. It comes back fairly quickly though with experience.
