Ran very slow in the heat for smart recovery.
PM: 37.6-mile ride. HR 153.
Started from Paint Creek and did portions of the Thursday night ride. When I got to the Proving Grounds (Ford test track I think) it poured and the sky was very dark and it was windy. I worried about hail and lightening but it was okay. The dirt was muddy (so was I, the bike likewise). Had a good time. Not optimal for recovery but it’s hard to do the cycling I want with my running schedule. Just need to monitor fatigue levels and not go too hard.

Felt a little rough on the lunch run. Slight bonk. Low on calories I think. A bit humid. Drier air pulled through this afternoon. Felt much better this afternoon. It’s still 80 in our apartment.

4-Mile Tempo in 24:46 (6:11/12 Avg)
Drier air moved in but it was still fairly warm (86 degrees). Warmed up 2 miles with strides. Ran completely by effort and Easter egged my splits to great results. I’m getting back to my old running self now.
Splits: 6:15, 6:14, 6:10, 6:07 (HR 169.5)
The last .75 were tough. Collected myself a bit then cooled down 2 miles. A short workout overall, but I also find true tempos some of the hardest workouts mentally. I prefer to break them into 10-15’ or 2-2.5 miles. Always feels great to nail them though.

Hot and high dew point. Was about 80 degrees sleeping. I’m tired of it. Complex supposed to look at AC.
PM: 37.2-mile ride. HR 162.
Hot ride. We were supposed to get thunderstorms but they held off. We did a combined group ride so the pace was solid (18MPH over dirt and hills). We were momentarily halted by two loose cows. Hard effort, but enjoyed it. The guys are helping me learn, which I appreciate.

Relief in the air. Low 70s, very dry, and breezy.

Very pleasant. Humidity at a rare 27%.
Night: AIS, PT routine, and push ups (did 43 in 1'. Too lax on the lately, but it has been so hot inside)

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.
