AM1:  78F, 68%.  10 mi total.  A tad warm, but DP was very reasonable, about 67.  I knew I wouldn't be setting any world records today though; just haven't been feeling it lately.  However, it was time for a workout, so I went to the track for a 5 x 1600, 1 lap active rec.  No expectations of pace, just get in the effort.  I averaged 6:16 (6:16, 6:16, 6:13, 6:22 whoops, 6:14).  Recovery laps were a bit quicker than usual, around 2:00 avg.  Physiologically, it did the trick, got the lactic acid bubbling.  Normally I'd consider a cutback week after a bunch of dumpy-feeling runs, but this little skid has coincided with a heat wave so I'm not completely sure it's my fault.  In fact let's blame it on the heat for now.  Yes, everything is just fine.

AM2:  back at it, 4 hrs later.  4 on the mill with strides.

Very nice, very close to a DP-adjusted world record, I think. Especially impressive with those short recovery laps.

I was really hoping someone on the blog would set a WR this morning. What a letdown.

I set a WR for largest/wettest buttprint on car seat after a run. Should probably cover my seat with Saran Wrap.

According to Kelly Blue Book, bootysweat hurts resale value. Who knew?

Does running your recovery laps quicker than usual indicate something? Or is it just an interesting thing, worth noting?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 09:58:29 from 168.215.171.129

Tom, I think I was running more by feel today. I typically force some slow recoveries even after the first one, usually trying to make sure I hit specific times on my "on" reps. Today I was just going after a certain feeling...wasn't tired after the first mile so my recovery lap was ~1:50; they got increasingly slower today as I got tired, where usually I'm somewhat consistent. I don't think it's better or worse, just something to note, like you said. All in all, I don't think much about the recoveries much when they are happening, but I am always curious enough to back and see what they were.

You may have the official WR for largest/wettest buttprint on a car seat, but unofficially, you're no where close.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 18:00:59 from 107.77.80.17

Not my fault you don't bring the Guinness folks with you on your runs like I do.

67 DP?! That's wonderful compared to what you've had.

I've started to pull the female card to lay blame. At first I blamed heat but after treadmill fail, well....

nicely done
