4 mile MAF

RUN 10.1 miles in 1:35, 4 mile MAF in 35:04 and 142 bpm
BIKE 17.1 miles in 1 hour, aerobic extension

Quote for March from Dr Suess:
You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you chose.

Great quote for the start of March, and another go at my LifeStyleWhole30. I've been slipping a bit and noticing the effects. So back at it! It's up to me, my choice and my decisions.

My last MAF was a month ago, but a 3 mile distance. This was a 4 miler, pace was 8:46 m/m while the previous one was 9:23 m/m. This MAF average HR was 142 and the previous was 131 bpm. So while the HR was higher in this one, it felt WAY better. My form was efficient, my focus good, and it didn't feel appreciably harder.

Ignoring the potential caveat that the previous 3 mile MAF was in the infamous Pork Belly run!

I wondered as I was running if this was supposed to be a marathon effort? Something I should look into.
