Seems like yesterday was a little too hard.  Resting heart rate was up by 10 today.  Nice easy run today.  Cold but I shouldn't complain about 27 degrees when others run when it is so much colder.

 

It's hard for me to know where that sweet spot is to train.  Thirty years ago I just ran every workout as hard as I could.  Now I have been trying to get in 2-3 hard workouts a week.  After almost a year of this I expect to be getting better.  It doesn't really seem like I am.  I have picked up the intensity of my training again after the half.  Been running shorter workouts faster but have dropped the 16 milers.  So am I any closer to my goal?
