Today is the first day I've run since last Friday. I hate missing runs, because I'm really enjoying it for once, and I need to get better at it. I was supposed to run easy for half an hour yesterday, but of course, work got in the way. Today's run was a "quality" session aimed at several different levels of effort over a "hilly" course. It was a dreadmill run, so of course, the hills were simulated. As with other, similar runs, you can see my HR gradually rise over the course of the run. The "peaks and valleys" in the graph correspond to the different grades of the "hills."
I felt really good today, despite not having run in several days. I have a feeling I may be in for some soreness in the morning.
Duration: 1 hour
Distance: 7 miles
Pace: 8:34/mile
Max HR: 172 bpm
Avg. HR: 160 bpm
I don't know how you force yourself to run. I ran today, too, and it was a struggle to get myself out there. I hope everyone at Slowtwitch is right that I'll enjoy it more the more I do it. Right now, it ain't fun!!!
