USAF Week 8 - Long Run

Duration = 2:28:38
Distance = 10.04
Calories = 1138
Max HR = 150
Avg HR = 136
Running Index = 45
Max Cadence = 98
Avg Cadence = 87

Sunday: long session
Equipment: Asics Gel-Cumulus 9s, shorts, tech shirt

Warm-up: .25 miles @ 3.0 mph
Main: 9.5 miles with HR in 130-140 (pushed a bit at the end)
Cool-down: .25 miles @ 3.0 mph

I could tell right away this was going to be good session. During my warm-up, my heart rate stayed under 100 for the entire 5 minutes. Then, the heart rate was slow to enter the target range. I pushed the speed up to 4.5 until, after the end of the first mile, I hit 140 and backed off. I was pretty steady until 100 minutes when the treadmill rolled-over and had to be restarted. (Only the time starts over; all other values keep running.) After the restart, I worked back to 4.0. I stayed there until after the end of mile 7. I then pushed the speed to 4.1, and then to 4.2. I also allowed my heart rate to rise with a hard limit at 150 which I saw but never exceeded.

The only issues were a bit of stiffness in my left ankle and minor soreness in the right ankle. Both of these worked out nicely over the first few miles. I will wear the current pair of shoes through the race next weekend, then I will switch over to the newer pair for the shorter runs. I expect I will be ready to retire the current pair after the USAF marathon in September.
