AM: 7.6 miles on the treadmill, averaged 7:55. Did a few strides.

HR data was off for some reason. Bad connection? Kept it light to warm up and progressed into solidly/honestly aerobic. Working on this, as I think it is the missing piece of my training. It is just hard without a traditional training structure of workout/recovery/maintenance (rinse and repeat). I might have to switch back to a midweek workout and a quality long run on the weekend. That always served me well in the past, I think I just need more mileage. Nothing crazy, but 45-50 miles per week ain't gonna cut it. Going for consistent 60-ish mile weeks, maybe with a peak week or two in the upper 70s or low 80s.
