9 Weeks from Bataan - Sunday

Duration = 1:55:27
Distance = 6.41
Calories = 783
Max HR = 136
Avg HR = 128
Max Cadence = 74
Avg Cadence = 67

Sunday: Long session
Equipment: Boots, jeans, t-shirt, & backpack (21 lbs)

Warm-up: 5:00 @ 3.0 mph
Main: 1:45:00 with HR in 125-135 (peak 3.4; finish 3.3)
Cool-down: 1:00 each 3.0, 2.5; 3:00 @ 2.0

Longest session with the backpack to date. Still no significant issues with the pack. There is a balance with tight enough to limit motion and too tight (can show as a hot spot on my shoulder at the base of my neck). I'm feeling better about possible paces for the March. Tonight, 3.3 yielded a stable heart rate under my MAF. When I bump the speed to 3.4, heart rate hits the 136 limit I'm enforcing and I drop back to 3.3. I will be looking at where this stable point develops as I increase the pack weight.

Speaking of weight, my current weight is the lowest in the last 6 months and is trending in the correct direction. I'm currently losing about 1/2 to 1 pound/week. This is a good rate.

I was planning on doing this outside, but I ran out of daylight. This led to a new data point on my treadmill: When it rolls over at 99:59, it stops. Continuing is just a matter of hitting Start again. The distance and calories are retained and continue to advance after the re-Start.

9 weeks to go.
