Training Log Archive: j-man

I have some preliminary conclusions:

• I was never that great at HR. I haven't gotten significantly worse, but 2008 was especially bad.
• z-man wasn't that good at HR before, but really kicked it up a notch circa 2008
• Winning times at HR, assuming a top field, should be in the low 7s. Pace is largely invariant over length, control density (style), climb, and season (although the X variables don't express enough variation to really test the latter factors, or any factors, really.)
• I have been in the 7s twice, and won on those occasions. They were longer courses.
• More data is required and this analysis is more art than science.

It looks like there is some good CSU orienteering training tomorrow. It is really unfortunate that it is on the same night as the track workout, which is where I am focusing.

Level 8 hills. 7mph through 48, and then to tempo (2 minutes earlier than last time.)

10mph at 56, 10.5mph at 58:30, and 11mph at 59:30.

Felt ridiculously good. Let's see about tomorrow.

1,034 calories.

Mini core afterwards.
