After a bit of a late night, and an early wake-up call, this morning was my first run into double digit mileage. Not deep into that jungle, at 10 miles, but crossing that threshold. Not bad for stumbling through 4 miles just 2.5 weeks ago. Rain let off about 20 minutes before I left, so it was a beautiful, cool morning for a run. I'll keep saying this after almost every run, but I can feel things coming together. Again, ran a bit faster at my HR caps, and the stride felt smoother, longer, and more powerful. There's a ways to go, but I'm moving down the right path.
Run: 10 miles - 5 miles @ 145 bpm, 5 miles @ 150 bpm
Yesterday I picked up a copy of Daniels' Running Formula, so I have some reading material to keep me busy for a while. This run-focus block, lasting 4 months, will pay off big next year with the huge base. Then I'll need to intelligently add the intensity to get the top-end.
