A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

thursday run stats

passion for running category: running on Thursday, July 12 2007

Average Heart Rate: 154 | 1st half: 151 | 2nd half: 157
Distance: 6.54 miles
Time: 1:01:26 | 1st half: 30:50 | 2nd half: 30:35
Pace: 9:23 min/mile
Weather: 29C/89F and no wind

I’m putting mind over matter and deciding, for once, that I’m HAPPY to run in the heat. Today felt great!

And, in case you are wondering, the reason I’m listing 1st versus 2nd half run stats is to see what my cardiac drift is. If I’ve understood coach correctly, the less of a drift, the more fit I am.

Just think–running in the heat *has* to be better than running in the snow. :) Happy Summer Mark!
