Tuesday 20 miles.

am) 11 miles. After Ben received his 1 year vaccinations- 4 full shots! It killed me to see him get them and I felt like crap afterwards during my run. The stress of seeing him hurt drained me.

pm) 9 miles. Felt a ton better. Here's the session:
wu) 3 miles.
Then: 400/ 200/ 200/ 400/ 400/ 400 all at 12 mph (all the treadmill could do). These felt very comfortable.. Then: 3 miles at 5:27 pace. Then: 4 X 200 at 12 mph.

cd) easy jogging. No HR monitor.

ps- the mystery poster sent me an e-mail.. it wasn't Charles or O.J...

Depending on the treadmill, I am told some actually can use that metric system that we will all use someday. In these cases, apparently the mills can go to 20kmh (or about 4:48 a mile, or 72 400 speed) via some secret setting (CRTL ATL DEL or something other). I will see if I can figure this out on mine in the next week or so.

This sort of speedwork on mills drives me a bit batty. Mills just don't get off the line the way we do. Thankfully I ain't that old yet. I guess I ought to be thankful we have them rather than trying to fight a snowbound track right now.

Nice work.

hopefully all of the tready running doesn't make you too soft!! some of us are still running AND swimming outside....

so i find the heartrate stuff interesting as i really know little about it...is the 10 beats below LT for marathon race pace kind of a common knowledge thing? that seems fast...or how do you arrive at those numbers? and then why are you doing the majority of your long runs 15 beats or so below that?

i do know what my LT is in both biking and running however i always train by PE or pace/distance/time but i'm thinking i should start paying attention to some of these numbers.

i hope ben is feeling okay after his shots - the holding them while they get them is the worst part...

I hate watching my kids get shots. My daughters are 3 1/2 and 2, just hearing them cry for any reason is really tough.

Guess I'm a softie too.... :-)
