Long Run

Swapped out the two hour bike again this Sunday for a two hour run. Still prepping for the marathon so I need some long runs. On last weekend's run I was a bit tight following my brick and after doing a brick yesterday I expected the same, but it didn't happen. The only f'ing problem was my HR monitor, it stayed pinned at 240 the entire run. Someone needs to make a call to Timex. It's really starting to piss me off since it's not the first time.

Anyway, picked up the pace more today for a more moderate run and was met with no pain or tiredness. Killed a bottle of Gatorade endurance again over the course of the run. Feels good to put in two hour runs now and feel fresh during and after. Hit the pool a few hours afterward.

Run Summary:

Time: 2:02

Distance: 14.5 miles

Avg HR: (going by feel here because of the faulty Timex) 146

Swim:

2500 meters

Dude! Nice work! A 2 hour run is some serious time. I bet you are looking forward to 26 miles... Keep up the good work! I am planning to run the 1/2 but still need to sign up. Looking forward to two road races in two consecutive weekends.
