Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras.
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.

Outside run before lunch, completed 5 x fartleks during back half but no idea how fast. Feeling really good. After work did my circuit training:
2 x Circuit: JR 5 min + One Leg Squats + Power Tower (abs, chin-ups, push-ups) + Bridges + Standing Leg Raises
Sluggish legs so backed off the pace. I think the weight training is making me an overall better runner, but really cuts into the pace the days following.
Wimped out and ran on the treadmill after work. Something I despise doing is running after work on the treadmill. Outside after worrk I'm fine with once and a while, but on the treadmill before dinner or at night is the pits. Overall, I have to get the running done before early afternoon or it will be a mental struggle.
Legs were not in the ball game this morning. The upper hams and calves were sore from the weights on Wed. So took it really easy and averaged 8:45 pace. Keep thinking about the Olympic 800 meter final last night. Rudisha was amazing to watch.
