Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras. Short-Term Running Goals: Consistent aerobic and strength training. Long-Term Running Goals: Participate in 5k and 10k races. 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. |

AM: EP 6 mi progression (8:02 avg). Cool and dry morning. Perfect for running.
PM: EP 1 mi, MP 5 mi (6:53 avg, 130 HR avg), EP 1 mi. Temps in low 60s, sunny, and cool wind. Heart rate remained low during MP section versus what happened last Saturday. Knees are stiff today. | | Comments(2) |

AM: EP 6 mi progression run (8:07 avg).
PM: EP 2.5 mi with strides, IP 5 x 0.75 mi with 0.25 mi RI (4:27 avg split, 4:24-4:32 range, 147 HR avg), and EP 1.75 mi. As usual, I went out too hard for the first 2 reps and ended up slower for the last rep. A range of 8 sec. is probably on the high side. I'll have to pace myself better next time and might need to cut down the recovery because my heart rate did not reach the IP area. Temps in the 70s, sunny, and slightly windy. | | Add Comment |

AM: Slow 4 mi before heading to bible study before work. Legs were fine, but I'm tired my friends. I need to get some more sleep tonight.
PM: Slow 6 mi progression to easy pace (7:58 avg). Temps in 70s and sunny. Hard to go back to the desk with this type of weather. | | Add Comment |

AM: Easy 1 mi, TP 5 mi (6:27 avg, 6:17-6:37 range, 143 HR avg), Easy 1 mi, MP 3 mi (6:53 avg overall). The run was filled with ups and downs. Felt great one mile and then sluggish the next. I bailed on the tempo run early because I felt my right hamstring getting testy. That's usually a sign of form break down for me, leaning forward or over striding. So I took a 1 mile breather and then ran marathon pace the rest of the way. Focused on cadence and moving the legs fast, which stopped the hamstring from barking. I'll have to see how it feels during the run later today.
PM: Slow to Easy 5 mi (8:10 avg) | | Add Comment |

Easy 14 mi, PMP 2 mi, Easy 5 mi (7:43 avg, 121 HR avg). Water only with no food before or during run. Temps in low 60s, low humidity, and sunny. Felt great with the exception of left hamstring being testy. Late this past week it was my right hamstring. That didn't lead to anything, but now my left one was causing some issues during today's run. Hopefully it clears up during my rest day. Next week is a down week. | | Add Comment |
