This part of training is all about base runs. Building the engine for what comes next.
Less than 2 weeks until build phase kicks in.

Your heart works at maximum efficiency at about 60% of max heart rate.
Higher than that heart rate goes up, but stroke volume plateaus or decreases.
Plus more stress on your body, more cortisol, and longer recovery.

Finished the time on feet today.
I had 2 goals
First - put in the time, not stop the workout short.
Second - keep my heart rate low enough for a quick recovery.

That meant throw in a bunch of walk sessions.

End of the workout I still logged 7.1 miles. Calling that a win today.

Some of you may have noticed I haven't posted in a few days. Still recovering from this cold.
Anne is crushing the miles this week.
I'm barely making 4 to 5 with a walk run plan.

Slowly feeling more myself.
Today was the best outing in over a week. Only 1:30 per mile off pace and less than half of it walked.

Getting over a cold

Recovery matters more

Are you feeling tired, legs feeling heavy?
Have a snack and some coffee.

Then put on your shoes and go.
