Ran a difficult 6 miles today. I wanted to hit 7 min but it was not going to happen after a 1.3 mile warm up. I ran at 12:30 and it was desceptively hot. The sun was not out, but it was pretty warm. I had a light snack before going out, but I was still out of sorts. I ran 7:30s for most of it with the heart rate in the mid to high 160s. That is a high zone 4 training run (not adjusted to my personal max heart rate) and zone 5 is racing speed. I think I have a typically high heart rate. I can roll out of bed in the morning at be at 120 bpm.
In the morning I was pretty still so I lifted a bit and ran after getting warmed up from the day. |
