Short-Term Running Goals:

Consistent aerobic and strength training.

Christie Clinic Half Marathon 4/27/24

Long-Term Running Goals:

Sub 1:35 in half marathon. Then might consider taking a shot at full marathon again.

Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties. Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation. It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again. Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness.

5K during lunch. I really wanted to blow off the run today, so I consider this a victory!

5.9 mi in 1:00 - Starting an experiment after reading a couple physiology studies regarding opitimal pace and distance for aerobic development. The optimal pace is considered 50-75% of 5K pace with 65% the goal. Based on my recent 5K that means 8:45 to 10:30 pace with 9:30 for 65%. Faster tempo running will be done 1-2 times per week, only if I feel up to it, and only at a 20:1 slow to fast ratio. Strength training 2 times per week.
