Notes
Not a bad run. I went down Rt. 100 to Warren Village, ran around the outskirts, and then ended at the post office for 9 miles. It was such a nice day.
I still have a wicked drop off in pace while trying to maintain the same HR. The Hadd document explains that eventually I should be able to do this whole run at a steady HR without a drop in pace. I wonder if the same thing would be achieved just by running a steady pace for the whole run, or even running it as a progression run. Hadd says not to run at that kind of intensity while building up my base, so I'll just stick with this plan at least until July/August range. I fully expect to be running mid to low 7s for these 160 runs by August, since on a good day I already have averaged about 8:00 flat.
