With the longer than normal run on Thursday and the tough ride yesterday, I opted to run a little less than I had planned. Did 70 minutes through town to the river trail and back. Tried to keep my HR lower but some of the climbs on the trail caused some spikes. Legs were pretty heavy.
I love trail running! The routes out here are awesome. I know I've probably already stated that in previous posts, but they are fun.
Went out today for a run. Wasn't planning on going as long and hard as I did, but once I got out there I decided to just let it go and see what I could do. I ended up doing the same route I did on Sunday - longest trail run yet. It was tough and I really pushed myself on the uphill. Ended up shaving 13 minutes off the time from Sunday's run and was able to hold an average HR of 158 for the 75 minutes. Pretty good since it's fairly hilly with a bunch of cutbacks.

Just got back from my long run of the week. Only at 60 minutes so far. Started out great heart rate in a good zone. Beautiful day. Sun out and clear blue skies. Much warmer today than previous days this month. Ended up with a much higher heart rate the second half of the run. Avg 144 by the end. Would like to get that in the high 130's.
