I’m on fire recently with regards to my bi-weekly run into the office. One Monday I set a new PR and today I smashed it and set a new one. The funny thing about today was that there was a wind blowing against me a times. I thought this would cause me to slow down tremendously but looking at the time, it didn’t very much(ok, it did a little or perhaps that was me).

My breathing is definitely more efficient than its ever been – there were certainly times  when I though to myself, my upper body is fine, its just my legs are getting tired. My upper body (breathing) could run for miles and miles and miles while after a while, my legs start to fatigue. More specifically its my calves but I’m learning to keep a good technique that If I don't deviate too much from it, makes the good ‘ol calves respond well.

I woke up twice last night. I wasn’t as fast today as I was on Monday which is expected as I’m more fatigued moving into mid-week but not by much. My pace was only 4:35 instead of Monday’s 4:25, which is only 10secs.  76% of the time I was in zone 3 which is a HR range of 153-169. Its strange to think that my HR was at one stage near 200, but obviously I’m much fitter now.
