416C090 (7/18/11 - Mon)

Splits 9:06s.  As last Monday.  Regarding my Long Canal Trail Runs.  A lot of the trail is shaded with trees.  Thus in 85 degree weather, the Canal Trail should be chosen for Longs – makes a big difference.

This run today: Local Loops done at 6:06pm.  3.24 miles in 29:32 for 9:06 avg. pace at 141 bpm AHR which is 81% MHR (GA:70-81%)

417C091 (7/19/11 – Tues)

Again considered doing tomorrow.  Reminded myself I wanted to stay committed to the training.  Did the run. 

Local Stonehenge x5 Loops at 8:32pm.  6.13 miles in 57:28 for 9:22 avg pace at 142 bpm AHR for 82% MHR (GA 70-81% MHR)

418C092 (7/22/11 – Fri)

Recovery Run. 10:30 pace out portion.  Lot walking back portion.  Heat Wave across USA. Temp in Hamden CT 103 degrees.  Yet I saw Burt recently ran 9:00 splits in hot weather! 

Hartford Turnpike O/B at 2:12pm for 5:06 miles in 56:59 for 11:16 avg. pace at 133 bpm AHR which is 76% MHR (Recovery <76%)

419C093 (7/24/11 – Sun)

Another Recovery HR Intensity Run.  I ran these 3.04 miles while Brandon rode his bike along side (in front of) me. 

Did local Loops.  Then Brandon did some Math work and went swimming with Christian.  Done at 3:38pm.  3.04 miles in 29:40 at 9:46 avg pace for 133 bpm AHR which is 76% MHR. 

 

Week 6 Summary

Not a lot of mileage and I missed three days – and I did not run Long.  So I will have to reapply myself.  Week 7-11 is Endurance and Lactate Threshold mesocycle. 

The first three weeks of this 18 week schedule sees running done 8 days for 65 miles.  The next three weeks sees running done over 14 days for 91 miles.  This second 3 weeks is good improvement.  Some regression Week 6 which sees only 17.47 miles run.  So consider Week 6 a taper type week and get back on track quickly!

420C094 (7/25/11 – Mon)

Got up and did a morning run!!!!!  There is no way my AHR is 133 for this run.  AHR 1st four miles id as 128 bpm.  Never.  I would estimate 140 bpm across the entire run.  I am not sure what is going on with the HR monitor.  Is it accurate??  Guess I’ll call this a Recovery run but feels like a GA high end intensity run.  Hartford Turnpike O/B  route at 5:47am.  6.17 miles done in 58:30 at 9:29 avg pace for 133 bpm AHR which is 76% MHR.  (Recovery <76%)

421C095 (7/27/11 – Wed AM run)

A GA run.  Cool today.  I need to increase foot turnover.  Did this today.  I think my turnover is less than what it was.  Go for splits in 8 minute range (8:xx).  It is cool enough in the morning to do this. 

I did the East Rock Loop (New Route) at 6:00am.  3.48 miles done at 9:15 avg pace in 32:12 for 134 bpm AHR at 77% MHR (GA 70-81%)

422C096 (7/27/11 – Wed PM run)

Ran the first 1.25 miles with Brandon while he rode his bike. 

Local Loops at 6:29pm.  3.11 miles in 29:03 at 9:20 avg pace for 136 bpm AHR at 78% MHR (GA 70-81% MHR).

423C097 (7/28/11 – Thurs)

Cool.  Bringing the pace down – going faster.  Focusing on quicker foot turnover. 

Did the East Rock Loop at 6:08am.  3.5 miles at 9:04 avg pace in 31:44 at 134 bpm AHR at 77% MHR (GA)

 

Week 7 Summary

Apparently did not reapply myself.  A 16.26 mile week…give it another shot.  BUT: Three early morning runs – that is a major training change – a major accomplishment!

 

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/104501266

424C098 (8/1/11 – Mon)

Another GA run: I will continue to run thinking in terms of time – a 60 minute, a 90 minute run, etc.  But I will monitor HR while running in an effort to run harder than GA intensity. 

Did the Route 22 O/B at 5:51am.  6.44 miles in 56:13 at 8:44 avg pace for 139 bpm AHR which is 80% MHR (GA 70-81%)

425C099 (8/2/11 – Tues)

Went by HR.  I am going back to monitoring pace once in a while.  I will check the HR post run.  I will work toward bringing the pace to the 8:00 range…get to 8:40, 8:35, 8:30  the goal next run should be 8:40 pace.  I need to get out of GA intensity mode. 

Did the Route 22 O/B at 6:27 am for 6.46 miles in 56:48 at 8:48 pace per mile at 140 bpm AHR for 80% MHR (GA 70-81% MHR)

426C100 (8/6/11 – Sat)

Brandon biked the first 0.60 miles with me.  Hot.  8:21 average pace for the first three miles. Gatorade break at 3.11 miles.  After that, splits in the 9:20s range.  Of note, those splits have AHR being 152 bpm.  A MP run from a HR intensity standpoint!!  Good.  I will run Long tomorrow.  Then back to going for 8:40 pace and then faster. 

Today was the Route 22 O/B at 11:17am for 7.04 miles in 1:02:39 at 8:54 avg pace for 148 bpm AHR which is 85% MHR (MP 79-88% MHR).  Finally a run other than GA or Recovery.

So do you consider my 9min. miles in the heat fast or slow? LOL!

Hey, thanks so much for the donation! It means a lot.

Hi Burt,

Are you kidding??

Your nine minute miles in the heat are amazing - FAST!

You're welcome. Glad to see you're fund raising for an important cause. I'll be thinking about the two of you on 9/10/11.

Sounds good! I am impressed with your HR runs. Your pace for 134 is so FAST! I go so SLOW at that HR I can hardly stand it. I took a break from the HR training, and am now having to discipline myself to get back into that slow rhythm.
