Did 4 miles on the treadmill again. Broke it up by doing some intervals though.
So, as I'm looking at my log I discovered something. My runs of 5+ miles have been steadily dwindling over the last 3 months. I like to tally running averages of my runs and pace (ie. average the last 4 runs by distance and when I log a new run it goes to top of the list, the fifth run falls out of the equation and the other 3 move down the list). I did this with my runs of over 5 miles each week. I used a 3 week average. Over the last 11 weeks the 3-week average of the number of 5+ mile runs during my week have decreased (or stayed the same) every week but one. Now I know with only 7 days in a week the most 5+ runs you can have is 7, so increases are out of the question once you max out, but decreases? I'm talking from an average of 4.3 at the beginning of the list to 1.7 the last 3 weeks. Do we think this affected my 5k earlier this week?
Rode CycOps for almost 23 minutes! Whoo Hoo! I still have tomorrow for the 30 minutes.
