A.M. Long run on the Jordan River Parkway Trail.
Started from 13th South and headed South. The trail was completely snow-free. This is the longest I've run since St. George, but it didn't feel too bad. From 1:20-1:30 I felt my blood sugar dip, but my body responded and I felt pretty good thereafter while experiencing the typical long run drained legs feeling.
Overall pace as 8:40/mi @ HR 142 including a shuffling slow start. Steady state was ~8:15/mi at HR ~147.
My focus for the next 6 week+ will be to lay down a nice Lydiard-esque base--lots of easy aerobic running, aerobic threshold work (AT), and alactic sprints. |
