In an attempt to get faster, I started doing tempo runs. The format is simple- run out for 30 minutes, turn around and try to make it back in 30 minutes. I'm currently doing them three times per week. I'm planning on doing them for four weeks, then replacing one with some 400 or 800 repeats.
The first run was pretty good- 7.76 miles, 430' climbing, avg. heart rate of 164.
The second was marginally better- 8.09 miles, 601', 164 bpm.
The goal is 10 miles at around the same average heart rate.
anyone else up for experimenting, too?
