7 Weeks from Bataan - Thursday

Duration = 40:10
Distance = 2.59
Calories = 271
Max HR = 138
Avg HR = 127
Running Index = 46
Max Cadence = 105
Avg Cadence = 87

Thursday: short, light session
Equipment: Nike Structure 12, shorts, & tech shirt

Warm-up: 5:00 @ 3.0 mph
Main: 30:00 with HR in 125-135 (Peak 4.8, finish 4.0)
Cool-down: 1:00 each 3.5, 3.0, 2.5; 2:00 @ 2.0

Active recovery after the long hill yesterday. Good run. I started harder than last week, peaking at 4.8, and finished 4.0 which is a touch slower. Because I peaked faster, I actually ran less distance in the same time as last week.

Since I know how I progress during a run and I really don't want to have to back off as much, I will slow the ramp-up for this light run. After the walk, I will increase the speed to 4.0 mph. I will then increase the speed by .5 after each 1/4-mile until I am in the target range. Once in the range, I will follow the standard approach of reducing by .2 when I hit my limit. Hopefully, this will generate a more even run.
