PM: 15.1 miles on the treadmill
60' @ Aerobic Threshold + 4 x 45" Strides
The dew point was 75 and almost 90 when I got ready to run in the late morning. No thanks. It was still plenty warm in the gym. Warmed up 30' minutes, taking in some fluids as I was already sweating a decent amount. I ran by HR, which works well for me on the treadmill as I tend to run slower than I can outside in decent conditions. Was only able to run 8.2 miles (about 7:20 pace), but I got in a good effort and felt strong. HR averaged 167.
Jogged 5' very easy and peeled off my shirt to change into a dry one. I'm sure the gym people weren't thrilled but it helped me out a good deal. Did 4 x 45" pace at 10 MPH or a bit faster and cooled down 20'. Felt good. I have moved my weekender to Saturday as it is better during the semester and it allows me to move my midweek workout back to accommodate my Thursday night ride. |
