Road Running 47:51 [3] 5.5 mi (8:42 / mi) +120m 8:09 / mi
ahr:128 max:144 rhr:45 weight:171lbs
Lunch run from work. My legs felt tired from yesterday.
Note
Did 3 weeks of exercises with increasing duration, now the plan is the forth week to be a easier one. Will aim for duration between the first and the second week ( 8 - 9 hours)
Generally I will go for 3:1 ratio of hard / easy exercise weeks. The hard weeks should increase in duration or in intensity. The easy week should be around the volume/intensity of the first week of the previous set of hard weeks.
But that's a wish list. The important thing is to get used to exercising daily. For the next couple of months it is not that important the intensity or the quality of the work, but rather getting into the habit. (and into a good shape) It's been too long since I felt light and springy (....ahm.. 1999.. ahm......). Now after 3 weeks of basically cross training of many endurance sports I begin to feel and to remember what it felt like to not get out of breath on every average hill.
