It’s been a rough week! I don’t even know what day it is right now. Well that’s an exaggeration but you know what I mean. It’s been a whirlwind of driving, running on treadmills, riding / running in the dark but today it was calm. The weather - 62 and clear, my head - slightly hazy but pointed in the right direction and my plan was to hit the 30+ miles mark on Thursday so I can ride my new bike and have pleasure runs (trail) on the weekend.
To accomplish this I did another HR distance run this morning and paced it out at 7:10 min miles. Now I am 100% sure those tempo runs are helping with the pace and endurance level. A few weeks ago my HM pace was in the 7:20 – 7:30 pace.
After completing this run I logged 32 miles for the week. If I toss in a 6.2 and 3.1 mile in there this weekend (one on a brick day) I will be right about 40 miles. 35 is my goal, so whatever happens is fine but I really enjoy those 3 milers sandwiched between bike rides. Besides my legs are cashed.
My new bike will be here today and I plan on assembling and tuning this evening and then taking a night ride with my son. He wants to ride in the dark, so we are going to hit the trail around 9 and catch some fire flies. Can’t wait for that!!!
Friday – the plan is to do a bike ride in the 25 – 30 mile range and lifting.
Saturday – Ride Run Ride (3 miles – 3 miles – 22 miles)
Sunday – Really easy 6.2 and some core / stretching
SIDE NOTE - I am going to start a movement on Twitter with some ultra guys - Garmin-Less Days(day still TBD) Nothing but pleasure. No paces no HR meter just run and screw that other stuff.
