Notes
RPE 7.5. Dropped ceiling HR from 145 to 142. I appears ceiling might be set for 140 on easy or long runs. Although this effort felt better than last week. I went into todays run feeling a bit more fatigued than last tuesday easy run. about a 6 out of 10 vs a 5/10 last week. This week my calves left a little tight(both). Where as last week I felt fresher. Did a nice stretch afterwards. 1st mile warm up. Next 2 miles tailwind helped a fast pace under the new target HR of no greater than 142. TUrned around and the next 3 + miles into a strong headwind which slowed the pace but maintained targt HR. Actaully found it more difficult to maintain pace into the headwind bc of gusts..
I found it interesting how my HR was lower this week compared to last tuesday easy run. But I also felt a little fresher last week. But I still ran faster today and longer on tired legs. Or at least more fatigued legs.
