Hey TheEd,
I've been real busy at work last week so I only ran 16 Jan.
slow run, 9.5km. Av HR 138, Av pace 6:26.
Raced an olympic tri today. Had to borrow someone else's bike so it didn't fit me properly and I feel it burnt my legs out a bit too much. Anyway, did the run in 45 flat. Stayed constant at 4:30 pace the whole time.
I think I'll just do higher intensity running for a while (keepy the long run at 140 HR) as I feel I should be training closer to the HR that I will use during a race...
What did you think about those speed intervals from before? Looking back, I feel they are redundant. I finished today at 2:41 pace today... no need to go any faster really. Was my justification right? What are your thoughts on that?
