AM: 9.3 miles on the treadmill, averaged 7:32. HR 153.

2x20' Subthreshold 

Slight cold, but not bad. I started the first interval at 8.7 and then bumped it to 8.8, but didn't progress from there was my HR was creeping up a bit. Not bad, but wanted to staying with the intended target and not chase pace. More of the same for the second one, so about 6:50-6:52 pace for both. Slower than the 35' continuous effort, but no worries. HR 164 and 166, so right around strong subthreshold but not full threshold effort. 

+23' sauna. HR 101. 

PM: 1 hours 47' on the older gravel bike. 16.7 MPH. 185W. HR 138. 

90 degrees or so. Sweat a ton. HR slightly elevated, but perceived effort was great, so I think the heat adaptation is going well.
