12 miles steady

I love this time of year when the mornings are getting lighter and the training is getting easier!

This morning there was ample daylight at 6 am and my legs felt fresh from the word go. Once I had warmed up, jogging along at 7:50 pace felt effortless. Then in the second half of the run 7:20 pace felt good as well.

Apparently you can get a number for your fitness by multiplying the average heart rate by the average pace (in minutes per mile.) This gives you the average number of beats per mile. The lower the number the better. About 10 months ago this figure was about 1080. This morning it was more like 980.

Two easy days now and then a go at a fast parkrun on Saturday.
