SWIM 800 yards (not as nice) in 20 mins in pool (haha)
PT with JH
BIKE COMMUTE 2 miles to/from FoPa
Today got a slow start, oddly enough I was ahead of schedule for most of it too. Up at 5, walk dog at 6, then delay.....was hungry....out to run. Arsenal to track, then 10 time 1:30 run with :30 rest. The plan called for 75% for the first 7 and 85% for the last 3 but I just kept focus on good form. It surprised me to see that my HR climbed up from 120 to 145-148 by the end of the 1:30 interval. Was I tired from the biking (68 miles in last 3 days)? Do I need more rest?
I found out hours later that I was running 8-8:30m/m intervals! Well, yeah, that'll do it.
From run to swim, after some more delay...was hungry...again.... out the door with only 20 mins to swim. Did what I could, get to check the box. But I don't get to check the "quality swim" box because this was just a mess. Did 95% pulling too. Oh well. Check the box. Off to see JH.
While WU on treadmill talked about morning run. He asked who was running this morning: me Now or me from 2016. Try as I do to avoid the comparisons, the expectations, and the measurements --he's right. I'm doing it, today was unconsciously so. I really had no idea I was running 8:30 m/m. Really. No idea. I would have guessed 9:30. But even not knowing this while discussing it, the truth is still there. I need to learn to run in the NOW. Rest for the NOW. Plan and expect and measure by the NOW.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Ha!! Love that movie. Other learning bits for today from JH:
1) Rest MORE. Get HR down to <110 if="" nbsp="" needed="" span="">
2) Focus on getting those quarter miles solid, then build on them.
3) See above about NOW
Really I had no idea. Because if I was measuring against pre-2016 I would have expected 6-7m/m. But I was running at the exertion of pre-2016.
