Long run. Went very well--felt strong through 21, then the HR kicked up to 155 and I could feel the transition. Finished just starting to feel tired over the last half-mile. Went a bit too fast over the last five miles or so, with most of the last thirty minutes under 6:30 pace. First fifteen was very consistent at 6:38-6:43.
No fluids or nutrition during the run, ice bath and recovery drink after. Legs feel really good this afternoon.

A couple of real good runs in a row Eric, nicely done. I'm guessing the weather must have let up a little with the quicker paces.
What? We have words?
This week I've finally felt like myself, and funny enough it coincides with the return of 10-20F temps and decent traction. December was rough.
Ewen, you've exposed me! I'm a minimalist hypocrite. haha! I guess I'll still get a bit loquacious when training goes particularly well.
You must be enjoying some balmy temps about now. I'd switch places with you gladly right now--for about a week!
Cheers
we still check out your blog,and hope you get over your writers block !
impressive training thats for sure.
Just curious - what was your HR before the jump to 155?
It was around 147-151 (at 6:25-6:30 pace). At the start of the last mile, it was consistently in the low 150s (up and down between 150-153), then spiked up to 155 with .5 mile to go and stuck there. Fun.
Eric, what's up? You okay? I hope all is well in your life and otherwise...
Hey...I'm not dead yet. Tough week with some difficult running due to weather and sickness, but things are coming around. I'm trying desperately to find some consistency!
Thanks for checking in. Cheers!
Glad you're still there/here, wanted to make sure you weren't lost in this white noise:)
Best of luck...
