Milestone Passed
This morning's 6-mile run felt great and came in faster than any of the 6M runs last week, even though the temperature and heat index were elevated. What started as 12 and 13-minute miles, staying at a 136 heart rate, a couple months ago has now come down to nine and ten-minute miles at the same heart rate. It's going to be interesting to see how low I can get the minutes/mile average once the volume gets to fifty miles per week. Then sixty.
I ran the sixth mile to the neighborhood pool, carrying my swim gear with me. The water's always nice the next day after it's cleaning.
Today's going to be a busy day as I'm watching several carbon fork auctions. A couple of aero carbon forks are scheduled to end in the next few hours. Just enough time to go get some spinning miles in at the gym. Then tonight I have my first coaches session with Runtex. I've been tapped to be a coach for newbie runners where I work. They're getting ready for a running event in November. Runtex asked us to wear running clothes so hopefully it won't be a long run after doing a sprint tri's worth of miles today.
BTW, didn't need the alarms this morning. I woke up at 1:08! Needless to say I didn't get any additional deep sleep and then I saw 4:00 when I got out of bed. But it was the first time my mind and body were ready for the early... no, freakin early morning workout. I just stumbled across Lana's blog who seems to be battling the alarm clock lately. Also, here's an article on bike design from Core77. Great stuff on wheels, speed and aerodynamic position.
