Another boring workout today. Just slogging away in the Endurance Zone trying to get used to running frequently. This is exactly what yesterday's HR graph would have looked like if I'd remembered to bring my HR monitor... The only difference being that the average HR would have been a little higher. I took today very easy at about 8:45-8:50 /mile pace. My reasoning behind this is because of the fairly hard effort I put forth on the bike yesterday morning. As my training progresses, I'll need to schedule "active recovery" days where I really back off the intensity of workouts that follow very difficult workouts within about 36 hours.
In fact, I probably mis-scheduled for the week. I should have sheduled a harder run yesterday to take advantage of a "high intensity block." All this means is that I should make hard days really hard, and make easy days really easy. By following really hard days with really easy days, I can increase the training stress on the hard days and still recover on the easy days.
