This could be the day...I rest and wonder if it's enough?

RUN 16 miles in 2:41, ave 151 bpm? and ave cad 169. Walked about a minute for each mile

Really, that was my HR? That was with a chest strap too. Didn't feel that hard.

This is the end of my rest week, of "only 30 miles running" as I've been telling myself and others. I don't feel rested! Up for a run in FoPa, used the Forsyth/Wydown loop for an extra 4 miles then a full loop of FoPa and a "zoo loop" to finish it off. It rained this morning so I had a later than usual start.

I've been thinking on my run/walk intervals for the 100. Both the 100K and the 100M. Reading online gets me many variations to think on, from 3 min/1 min to 5 min/1min, etc. In Kansas 2016 I started out with a 1 mile run/1 min walk for the first 40 miles. After that I lost the counting. But with that I thought I might have been going too fast? Yet I certainly didn't break any speed records. Doesn't help that I walked most of the last 40 miles though...

Today I tried for 1 mile run/1 min walk. Start and adjust from there. It's hard to slow and walk after only a mile, especially when it's "only" 15 miles (this was supposed to be a 10+5 weekend) but somehow or another I was tired and it took a few miles to get into it.

Out to Clayton (pretty houses), back on Big Bend (bikes!), back to FoPa and up Skinker (coworker AH reported in on his first 10K right as I came up on 6 miles myself!) (Yes I compared our times...similar), and by about this time I was settled into the pattern of run/walk.

No issues pretty morning, no pains or stomach upsets or issues. Pretty sure I didn't drink enough. Had slow intake of a gel after 10 miles. Podcasts all morning I think, but can't remember which ones right now.

My feet were slightly sore again, should I look into more cushioned shoes? My phone in my bra chafed my skin, should I look into a SPIbelt to carry it?

All good! Home for lots of housework and walking, prep for tomorrow's ride.
