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)

- Tempo run 8.04 miles in 65 minutes (8'06" pace) I run my tempo and intervals on the treadmill (especially as opposed to running in th dark during rush hour).

- 43 minutes - my new nemesis. Rodes City Run 10k Race Report Course Commentary Ah, Rodes. Despite being similar in size to the Anthem 5k [7301 finishers vs 8516 finishers], Rodes is the antithesis of the Anthem 5k. First of all, there is more than twice as much race course per participant, which allows for better spacing for most of the race.......
