Tuesday Breakthrough

Run type: hard aerobic
Distance 18.35
Average pace: 4:20/km
Heart rate: 152
Weather: 19 degrees & cloudy (5:30 am)

This run was really a lot like last Wednesday. Except it was just that bit faster. Looking at last week's entry, I slowed down when I met Horst, so maybe that accounts for the overall 4 sec/km difference. Still, today just felt like a breakthrough. I ran hard, but aerobically. Sure, my legs were getting tired later into the run, sure there was some cardiac drift, and maybe there was a bit of lactic accumulation going on, but my heart rate was telling me I was in comfortable territory. And yet had I kept running for another 3 km itwould have been a 91:36 half marathon. Just an aerobic training run! Here is a breakdown:
