Ten Mile Run
Time: 1:37:43
Decided that in spite of the bike ride yesterday, and feelign a bit breathless (only a bit) to try a run. I decided to start with the Ninsuch six and then add four miles on the end, so I could compare times. Here's the splits :o)
Note that the splits are better than Friday's run, in spite of having the bike ride in my legs. My left quad didn't cramp up as much, although it did a bit in the last couple of miles.
Given that I wellied the last few hundred yards on Friday to duch under 57 minutes, it doesn't really count as a PB, whereas tofday's effort of 57:10, has each split at or below 140bpm. Must admit I was a tad surprised as I seemed to be slowing quicker than I did on Friday, and was better still the Sundya before, so maybe there's more to come. Hope so anyway.
The last few miles were tedious, I didn't really have a route planned, and the HR was shooting up on the slightest hill. Even so - the HR average is at 140 for nearly all the splits, and yet the splits are mainly under ten minute miles. There is some improvement! About time too! Can't help but compare with the rate of improvement with how I used to train - I reckon it was a lot faster coming together, although then again, I was doing more than two runs in a week!

I thought that the whole point of base`training was slow improvement because it takes longer to build up your aerobic capacity.
With that in mind you have made impressive progress
Well - I guess one thign to consider is that I've lost over two stone in weight over the period I've been training like this - and while it's not an exact science, that should have knocked off a big chunk of time on its own.
Once you factor that out, the improvement's not so great.
Will be interesting to see how I peform at my next 10k
