Evening Run

Two laps around Cherokee Blvd with 4 x 100m stride finisher. Nothing but friction, keep shoveling SHIT. Relative effort 22. 6.86 mi. Time 1:06:03. Avg Pace 9:38 /mi. Total Ascent 266 ft. Avg HR 141 bpm.

Niggles: None, but today was friction.

During my run I was having thoughts about my current training and my training moving forward. This block, running more and riding less, reminds me of the attempted 7-week Boston block. While running more I am neglecting, cycling, and cross training. Could I be getting less fit?
