I’m going to make an attempt at keeping a daily log of my training here on the website. I already track all my training in a spreadsheet and also by hand in a monthly calendar, but I thought typing it out might be a useful, brief daily exercise (dad joke!).
Today’s workout was as follows:
20-minute warm up
15 minutes at a decent effort (6-8 perceived effort, out of 10)
5-minute recovery period
15 minutes at a decent effort
20-minute cool down
I ended up covering 9.27 miles in 1:15:40, for an average pace of 8:10/mile, with 568 feet of elevation gain.
I felt pretty good overall; this was an enjoyable workout. I don’t always like the mid-week workouts, but today’s felt nice. Not too taxing on the system as I’ve got a 50-miler coming up at the end of the month.
