Week 6. This week I increase my short run mileage as I repeat my long run. My runs this week look like this:
Mon - 4 Miles
Tue - 5 Miles
Thu - 4 Miles
Sat - 10 Miles
Today I ran on the river trail again, and it was a nice run in the dark. I saw exactly nobody for about the first half of the run, and then saw 5 bicyclists, 1 dog walker, 2 runners, and 3 rabbits during the latter half. When it is light out, I pass that many people every minute, so you can imagine that this well-used trail was just about all mine today. I headed out at 5:00 AM to do my 4 miles. I started it with the intent of it being a rather easy run, but turned it in to a speed workout the last half. I ran my 4 miles in just about 44 minutes, most of which was considerably above my normal pace. No pain today thankfully. Good run today.
The only bummer is that my weight is up a bit, up to 184. Looks like I need to do a bit of food tracking to find out what I am doing with my eating. I have been snacking a bit too much it seems. I will get this back in check this week.
Stats:
HR - 147/166
Mile 1 - 11:06/5.4
Mile 2 - 10:30/5.7
Mile 3 - 10:10/5.9
Mile 4 - 9:16/6.5
Mile 4.16 - 1:16/7.1
Mile 4.25 Cool down - 1:35/3.5
Weight - 184 (sheesh)
Pain - None

Great Blog Paul. I really like your idea of keeping your stats at the end of each post with your split times your heart rate and your weight. I might steal the idea off you if that's ok? I got into running last year and now I just love it, it's helped me lose weight also but I just feel so much better inside. I wish I had your discipline to get up that early and do my runs though; mine are all done in the evenings after a hard days work. Anyway best of luck with your running and I hope you achieve all your own personal goals.
All the best Philip
Thanks Philip,
Feel free to use what you would like to.
Good luck with your training!
Paul
