A.M. Long run along the Jordan River Parkway Trail. 2:00:03/14.81 mi.
This was a great run for me. I was significantly faster than the last two weeks and felt stronger too. Much of it was at a higher HR than last week, but I was also faster at equivalent HRs so I am continuing to see improvement. I ran at comfortable pace the whole way and never pressed the pace. There was almost no wind on the way out, which is slightly uphill because it is upstream, but it picked up so I ran against a solid headwind on the way back.
Overall, this was a good week. I completed all of my planned primary runs. I missed a couple of evening runs because I simply did not have time to fit them in, but that's life when running is your 3rd or 4th priority. This is the fastest I have run at these HRs since I started training again, but I'm still pitifully slow compared to the past and therefore have lots of room for improvement.
