Hi all,<br><br>
Looks like we had some awesome workouts today, and some great weather to boot. If I may be so bold, put my workout in the awesome category and the weather there too.<br><br>
Tonight I did the trail. I wanted to take it easy, and when I hit the mile 1 marker and looked at the watch I figured I was going way too hard because the time was much faster than I was planning on. But the HR was only in the low 140s, which isn't a big deal for me. So I just went with it.<br><br>
When you look at the numbers in the report below, the thing that jumps out at me tonight is consistency. The 5 mile out was 46:36.7. Then I did 3 of the 5 miles back in 30:02.1. Then I did the repeat section of the trail, and the two miles were almost identical (9:55.1, 9:56.2). Then I did the last 2 miles in 16:36.8. If you add the last two miles to the 3 miles back before I did the repeat section, you get a 5 mile back time of 46:38.8, 2.1 seconds off of what I did on the 5 mile out.<br><br>
I'll work on trying to shave those seconds off next time! <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>

I know I should have gone easier than I did after the strides last night, but I could not help myself. The weather was fantastic, and to be honest except for the climbs, my HR was in the 140s and 150s most of the time.<br><br>
Very consistent tonight which felt good.<br><b>Run Segments<br>
