Week 2, Day 3
Phase: Base
Workout: 50 to 70 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance

Very nice easy run tonight accompanied by my wife riding her mountain bike. It’s amazing how fast time goes when you’re chatting about stuff – the hour flew by and before I knew it I was heading home.

Anyway, the aim was to keep the run in the easy zone (between 7:09 and 7:42 per mile pace) and without really trying I managed to run each of the eight miles slightly quicker than the previous one: 7:47 7:44 7:33 7:33 7:32 7:29 7:22 7:22

Despite the slightly cooler temperature this afternoon, it was still very humid and I’m sure I lost a good couple of pounds. However, the legs felt good and I’m looking forward to my Pace Booster Run tomorrow.
