Two Run Monday

2nd Run   (its a bit of a stretch calling it a run) done yesterday afternoon logging a 4.1K Snowshoe on the backyard trail.  4 laps were done and the first 3 were more or less breaking trail .  The Snow was very deep and heavy so it was tough going.  I am hoping to get out a little more now that yet again the trail is groomed.    The weather was pleasant ...light snow a bit of Sun and no wind with temps near freezing.  

Mid 7

10K logged this morning ... not quite the run I wanted but any day I can run 10K is a good day.

Mid 6

12K logged on my meal break this morning.

Wore the HRM again forgot to turn it on until I was 2K in .  I was up to my 5:00 pace when I started it so I was already at 124 bpm  ran through about 10.5 K before starting my cool down and maxed out at 138 bpm on my last 3 fartleks.   You can clearly see the rise in HR by about 5 bpm as a result of the 8 fartleks I did.  Its cool to see the gradual increase in HR through the first 30 min then it seems to level out.   It would be interesting to keep going until the resources are tapped out and the HR would start to rise exponentially again...guessing around the 2.5 to 3 hour mark   thats with no fuel or hydration.   The things I do to humor myself on the treadmill.  

Mid 5

10K logged on my meal break this morning.   It was a mostly 5:00 pace with 4:45 fartleks at 4,5,6,7 and 8K marks.   Wore the Garmin to entertain the mind .   HR never got into the 140s,  cadence is still up there...kind of make me want to to try a lung burner sometime soon.   Its been well over a year of the 5:00 pace and 4:45 fartleks so its time for a 5, 10 or 21.1 Ker.

Mid 4

Another 3am Run done logging 8K at a a mostly 5:00 pace with 0.2K 4:45 fartelks starting at the 4K mark and every K until the run was done.
