3 mile warm up in the 7.30+ range
14 miles at goal pace (6.51) Averaged 5.50...pretty solid considering the winds during the first 4-5 efforts were a bit heavy. Finished decent...Ran with Eric and part with Mike S...HR high early, but after the headwind, settled into a normal HR, but the legs did get heavy coming home.

April 10

Run
  • 1h 57m 30s
  • 15.00 miles
  • 07m 49s /Mi

wind chill was 24 degrees, so we hit the UWGB trails (Scott, Mike, and Eric) for two loops then finished the next 4-5 miles on the road. Didn't quite hit our goal pace for this trail section, as it's pretty hilly and the terrain is soft, but it's good for the legs. Had enough left to finish the last 4 in the 7.20's, but was feeling it on the last one...glad we did the trails...windy out there.

I don't know if my HR has ever been this low...there are times my legs are tired, but my HR rarely ever goes up to 150 any more...guess that's a good thing. i know it will be up there on may 2oth!

3 mile warm up 7.35 ish
6 miles (.75 hard .25 recovery) averaged 6.46 for each mile...the hard section was about 6.20's...not great, but what's to be expected two days after a 22 mile run and one day after EASTER:-)

Executive Edge Session at WRFC

Really enjoyed the workout...felt good at the end...really helps get the legs feeling like 6.52 is actually a doable pace...lots of concrete today...may pay for that tommorrow. Exec Edge results - lost 6% body fat, lost 8 lbs, dropped cholesteral, RHR at 48 (down from 62), and all areas of fitness improved...I'll take it...need more fruits and vegetables and to incorporate strength training...plan on doing 12 oz/ curls all summer so Gorder can see me drunk;0)
