Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties. Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation. It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again. Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness.

2x slow and easy running. Second run was a bit faster. Bodyweight is coming down slowly, which should help a great deal overall. Strange thing is my legs feel a bit faster on the second or third run of the day then they do on the early morning trot. Wasn't that way before.

Ran 2X today. Mixed in a lot of fartleks, but no clock watching, just various distances at a steady controlled speed.

Ran 1x long endurance run. Started out slow first 2 miles then repeated 2 min. fast + 8 min. easy for the remainder. No idea how fast the "fast" sections were so I just marked them as MP, but the last 3 were tough. Focused on staying in control and relaxed. It was warm and sunny. I was wiped out and hungry at the end. That makes 4 weeks in a row of 100 miles. Making progress, but it comes slowly.
