Did similar workout as last week, I guess what you'd call a moderate progression run. Comparing to last week I ran it in almost identical time but for some reason my HR was higher today. Maybe because it was colder or perhaps because I didn't get quite as good as sleep as usual? I didn't really notice feeling much different than last week except maybe the last mile felt harder than it should have.

Mile average pace /HR: 8:17/137, 8:05/145, 8:05/151, 7:53/155, 7:51/164(hill), 7:32/166,  7:27/171, 7:24/176, 7:19/179, 7:01/185.

Overall: 7:41/162

LAST WEEK:

Mile average pace/HR: 8:18/134, 8:09/143, 8:18/144(?), 7:38/156, 7:48/161(hill), 7:27/160, 7:27/163, 7:27/166, 7:14/172, 7:03/179.

Overall: 7:41/157.

Coach Hudson tidbit: "You must not train exactly the same way in consecutive training cycles......Put another way, you need to take advantage of the success you had in your last training cycle by creating a new training plan that demands even more from your body."
