Well after running pretty slow in the Ironman 70.3 I figured I needed a good speed workout to get me going. I also ate a ton of crap coming back from Cali so I also needed to burn off the cookies, Coca Cola, In-n-Out Double Burger and the McDonald’s Big Mac that I ate yesterday on our way back home. I set a new personal best for my 10k at 51:23. 14 seconds faster than my race time a couple weeks back. Not to shabby. My goal is to break the 50 minute barrier within the next month or two. I actually only ran about 6 miles instead of a full 6.2 so I added the extra time.

I averaged an 8:17 minute mile with average heart rate at 185 and my max heart rate at 197. My max heart rate is definitely getting lower when I push myself but my average is staying the same. I am just able to keep my heart rate up for a longer period of time.

Race Pace Run: 6 Miles . Time: 48:53 – Cal: 768 – HR avg: 185 – HR max: 197 – Rate: 8
