Okay, it’s not a classic double for me. I rarely split runs into two separate runs unless I’m going past 90 minutes (usually not until 120 minutes). However, I need to restrict my lunch run to 45 minutes and I also need to be able to run at slower than a 10-minute pace. Both of these factors meant that I needed to get in about half the run this morning (3.6 miles in 35′24″). I’ll attempt to restrict my lunch run to 5.5 mph or slower for 4 miles. Wish me luck.
As for the streaking, I’m on day 60 of my running streak and on day 35 of my physical therapy exercise streak.
Update:
Second run of the day: 4 miles in 43′50″ (10′58″ pace) and 0.36 mile, 5 minute recovery at -3% incline (13′54″ pace)
