It was a hard run made harder by blustering wind and very icy conditions today.

Time: 58:50
Distance: 7.03 miles
Pace: 8:22 min/mile
Average Heart Rate: 168

I’ve had a hard three days. Monday was my second 2.5 hour run on this program, Tuesday was a much faster than usual 90 minute easy run and today was a very hard effort.

Put together, these three days feel like when I was near the beginning of my training program - probably a good thing.

What’s fascinating to me is that just by an increase in intensity, I could be looking at my first ever 70 mile week. No small accomplishment for me anyway! I won’t hold my breath though because I suspect 70 miles is not going to come easy. It may take me a few weeks.

Then again, I’ve surprised myself before on this program.
