Cold one out here this morning.

I tucked into the trainer in the basement and was entertained by the soundtrack to Alexander Hamilton. Todays job was big ring and push push push. I looked like I showered in my clothes by the time I was done.

Should be a great day here in Southern PA.

Enjoy what you get!

8-3/4 mile run again this morning.  

It was warm here today.  The mercury was up 6-7 degrees from where it was when I ran two days ago.   I did about the same run today as two days ago, but two days ago the goal was to run for one mile at about 6:30 min/mi pace then walk for 30 seconds for 6 miles.  Today the goal was to run at a steady state on the same course for the whole 6 miles without any walk breaks.  I wanted to see which way or running felt harder and which way of running was faster.  I was using perceived effort but I think the comparison when pretty well. 

Run-Walk-Run Splits. Warm-up: 7:28, Main Set: 7:01, 6:44, 7:02, 7:06, 7:09, 7:25, 7:03

Run-Run-Run Splits:   Warm-up: 7:31, Main Set: 6:50, 7:01,  7:00, 7:05, 6:58, 7:10, 6:58

So....I was about dead even until miles 6-7 where I slowed about 8-9 seconds with the run-run method but slowed about twice that much with the run-walk method.   So round #1 the Run-Run method wins.  I will keep testing this to see how things play over over time.  The perceived efforts were about the same for both runs.  I only got a Heart rate reading for the run-run.  Comparing HR's should prove interesting as this is tested further.

16 miles on the trainer. Legs felt the best they have on the bike this year. I was able to push more watts and got comfortable in the aero position for a good portion of the ride.
