PM: 10.7 miles, averaged 8:23. HR 146.
30' @ HME
6:46, 6:43, 6:50, 6:45, (6:46). Warmed up 30' with some accelerations. I was hoping to start in the low 6:40s and work into the 6:30s, but I didn't quite get there. HR was solidly in control, but it doesn't seem to be getting that high lately. I averaged around 168 or 169 BPM. 6:46 average.
A long way to go, but probably not far off from the treadmill workouts, so I guess that isn't disappointing. This was considerably faster than my 90' workout with 30' steady, which averaged around 7:30 and the last mile was around 7:15 and it almost killed me. I was decently hungover then and since January 6 I have only had drinks on my birthday. Definitely helping, but I wish it was helping more :-)
Switched morning/afternoon with Megan to do a ride with the guys tomorrow. It was nice to work a bit and watch the boys and watch the Olympic Trials.
