Up early today to make up some of the miles I missed Tuesday night. Easy 4 on the dreadmill at the club. Do it again tomorrow, maybe with strides at the end. Tonight, my interval session on the DM at the fitness room. Warmed up with 3.5, then 6 X 1200 at 6:35 pace with about 4.5 minutes in between, which generally worked out to two laps jogged, then about 2 miles of cooldown. It was hard, but doable, and I was whipped when I finished. But not because I'd taxed my cardio capacity. HRmax, according to the Garmin monitor, was 160. That's about 90% of my heart rate reserve and 92% of MHR. I continue to believe that if my legs ever catch up to my cardio, I might go sub-3 -- but that may never happen. Double again tomorrow -- easy 4 in the AM, then 15 at night. Because, as far as I know, the trail remains flooded and there was more rain today, I guess I'll have to do it on the DM. Yuck. |
