Lunch: 16.2 miles, averaged 7:47. HR 160.

60’ Aerobic Threshold Run + 6 x 20” Strides

Went to Stony Creek to get some hillier running in. Full sun, dry, not too hot. Warmed up 30’. I put my auto lap and hit pretty much 6:50s and 6:40s. It was windy as it alway is off the water. Averaged 6:48, which I was okay with. I never felt great but I fought through. Jogged about 6’ and got some fluids (shorts had some serious salt stains) and did strides (supposed to be 45” but I couldn’t bring myself to do the long ones. Shuffled 20’ down.

Splits: 6:58, 6:50, 6:40, 6:42, 6:48, 6:45, 6:47, 6:58, 6:42 (for .8)

Pleased I toughed it out. The last 5’ were a little tough. The uphills at the end killed me.
