a conditioning sign...

Thursday evening:

Well I finally got in a good run for the week…it’s been much too long! Per my training schedule I had a 45 minute Tempo run to accomplish so I choose to run this in the confines of our health club because I enjoy running these indoors this time of the weather year were having. So I ran my tempo run utilizing the indoor track & treadmill for my specific workout yet again.

On the indoor track I ran a 2.2 mile warm-up to pick-up pace as I felt good right from the first lap and then I jumped on the treadmill for the speed side of things for 2 miles in 14:44 minutes in which I had an average HR during this portion at 141bpm and max during the ending minute at 151bpm. After that I headed back up to the track for a 1.4 mile cool-down portion which I felt strong on also. During my 46:10 minutes I covered 5.6 miles with an average HR of 134bpm.

After my run I always walk a cool-down lap (2/10ths of a mile) of the track and my HR was under 85bpm as I walked down the stairs to the locker room…maybe my conditioning is finally kicking in :-)
