Top of the Key

Test day on the track, 6 miles at MAF heart rate, for me 150-155. Inching up a bit from what I was using for triathlon training. Ran well, strong, but have to admit this pace felt slow, easy, too easy. But that’s the point. Using this as a benchmark as I develop fitness at a lower heart rate. I have to admit too, that this running thing is fun, and takes a ton less time to train. My goal is for about 50 or more miles a week, less than 10 hours of training. So there’s room for strength training and swimming in there.

I think the decision has been made to hang up the tri gear for the season too. Just stopped riding all together, and need a break. Plus, I want to start healthy and strong when IM training starts up. Lots to do between now and then, 4 months from now.
