40 days in a row #twit2fit

I’m still able to run today after running my 3×800 intervals yesterday
@ 6:53 pace
. I dropped down to 172 pounds from an average of well
over 175, mainly from both lack of food and liquids yesterday. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Today’s run was a 3.2 mile hill run at 3% incline on a Precor 966i
treadmill in 31:06 (9:44 pace). Supposedly, that’s roughly the same
level of effort as an 8:44 pace
for that length of time.

  • I ran 15 miles at sub-9 pace the hard way #running #twit2fit (and on the treadmill at 11pm) I decided that I'd do a progressive workout, starting @ 6.0 mph (10'00") and going to 7.4 mph (8'06"?), by 0.1 mph increments per mile.  I have the speed to run 6'30" intervals, but I'm still hesitant to push for a sub-9 pace long......

Coming off of that effort with a little......
