Miles Matter

06/23/2026

No video today, just a snapshot and summary of how it went.

Day 2 of leaving my ego at home to go run
I did 2 things, slowed down and Shortened my stride.
The goal was finish and keep my heart rate in check.

How did it go? A little more than an hour. 5 1/2 miles at 11:31 average pace. Took one 40 second walk break deep in the run.
Heart rate average good, with more time edging into Zone 4 than I'd like.

Heat and humidity are making it tough.
In the pic the white line is what Garmin wants; and 11:05 pace.
Blue line is what I could deliver today.

Go make the miles matter

Short break from videos, but not taking a break from running.

1 hour base run today
Hot, steamy, and harder than it should be.

Sooner or later ill adapt to the heat and humidity.

Almost time for the Greensboro Speakeasy 5k.
Who thought 9pm start was a good idea?

Got the new watch back in late November.
Just noticed that its shaping up to be a 1000 mile year if I don't get injured.

Different workouts serve Different purposes.

Base Runs are the foundation
Speed workouts like the Tempo Run help you get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Another day, another base run

Heat and humidity are no joke. Those two will make you feel miserable running at the same pace.

Pay attention to your heart rate and perceived effort
