Monday is my wife's day to workout in the morning, and she works late, so I went for a lunch run. Just a quick 5K. It was pretty hot and miserable, getting me almost soaked with sweat. I was recently reminded of the benefits of aerobic training, like I mentioned in my last blog, so today I tried to go nice and easy with my HR 140 to 145. I ended up running 3.15 miles in 32:18.27, with an overall average pace of 10:15mm, and a HR average of 156 bpm, burning 364 calories. So, I went anaerobic. It was difficult to go much slower toward the end. My first mile was aerobic, but after that I couldn't get my HR to drop unless I walked. Still a better run than no run!
Also, today was the first day I tried to quit caffeine. A friend from high school mentioned on Facebook that he wanted to quit caffeine. I decided to try it with him, as support and just to see if I could do it. Sunday night was my last caffeine, and I made it through Monday without any issues. I did keep my Aspirin level high though.
Here is the Strava data:
