am--9 Out-and-back on SC Parkway. The run felt sufficiently draining. I like that. Wore the HRM. I'm not sure how I feel about the feedback or how exactly to use the feedback. The stress of the monitor seems to lift the heart rate. RHR--52.
pm--5 Tready w/ the HRM. Just to see what kind of HR I had going during some cheese miles. It stayed under 150 pretty easily. After, I erged--4x 500m w/ 1-min. rest (2:07, 2:04, 2:01, and 1:57). I feel pretty awesome about that pulling. Thinking a lot about XC.
pm--7 Aerobic run w/ 6x 1-min. pick-ups, ranging from low 7's to high 6's, w/ 4-min. recovery between each. Felt really good. Developing a certain calm picking up speed helps me. Prepping for a good summer.
pm--4 Easy miles w/ 2k erging after. Felt nice to just run. On the row, I hit 2k in 8:11.3, a new record. That's pretty close to better pace than the cumulative pace from the 500m intervals. Don't sweat the swole.
