Great brick today. Heart rate very well behaved. Max speed PR on bike (42.8mph) and second best average speed for 20-25 miles.
Got in 2 sets of core work. That makes me 3 behind. With 4 on rest day tomorrow, Sunday, I need 5 next week over the 6 days going into the Rock Hall Sprint on Sunday. Why not Tuesday-Saturday with break on Monday after Sunday's 4 unless I get in more doubles like I managed today.

Day 55, Week 8, Short Run [4M]
Insanely decided to run it all in 2nd gear and it worked out. 9:24 pace was great. Heart rate avg was 150s and max 177s compared to Wednesday's 11 mile run in first gear of 140s and 160s. Maybe I'll do all my 4 milers in 2nd gear. Leave everything else including the 7 milers in 1st. I expect my 1st gear pace will improve.

Still have a cold and didn't have energy to do any core work. I'll try to make up the 4 sets over the course of the coming week.

Day 53, Week 8, Long Run [11.75M]
Great run. Nice and relaxed with nominal 10:23 pace and heart rate didn't exceed the low 160's. I'm back on track with longest run since Spring '17 set back.

Just like Sunday. Did just fine with elliptical and treadmill despite having a scratchy throat.

Day 51, Week 8, Short Run/Core [4M/8:30M]
On the treadmill. Yuck! I run on it with no incline. That is still hard. I go at 10:00 minute pace and it's challenging more so than going on hills on the street. My heart rate however, is steady at 170~175. Which is interesting that with hills at home at 10:00 average pace, my average is in the 140s.

Day 50, Week 7, Short Brick [45min/1.75M]
Well, that didn't happen as planned. My hotel here in Austin doesn't have an exercise bike. I made do with 45min on an elliptical, then 1.7M on treadmill. On the elliptical, I managed to burn a good amount of calories, ~550 and my heart rate stayed between 110's and 130's depending on the level. I did good on treadmill going at 10:00 pace the whole time and my heart rate staying around 180.
