Since I accomplished my goal of doing a trail-only marathon, and took a week off to recover, I've been thinking about a new goal. Last week, I did a number of longer runs to and from work, mostly 15Km runs, totally a little over 90Km. I've decided that it's time to try to improve my speed; my distance has received enough attention for a while.
So today, I did another threshold running test for 80/20 training. It turns out my threshold heart rate is 181, and my threshold pace is 4:38/km. The heart rate is well above the previous heart rate threshold I determined, but the speed is 22 seconds per kilometer faster. I need to decide whether I want to just do run training, or go back to triathlon training.
I should also get some proper nutrition going. A plan for how best to eat for both strength training and endurance training, and meal prep to support it.
Plenty of decisions to be made.
