Today's training: 17.8 miles, 3:08:00 (10:34 min/mi), heart rate avg 142/max 154/4:20 over 150
To save a little time, I decided to run to the lake, do a lap around, and run back. The foot pod registered this as 17.8 miles. It's a little harder on my legs since I'm running more on pavement, but it's nice not to have to drive somewhere to run.
I decided that dehydration probably was contributing to my heart rate drift during long runs, so I made an effort to drink a lot during this run. I went through about 70 oz of water (and two bathroom breaks). It seems to have worked pretty well. I didn't have trouble keeping under the 150 bpm alarm until after about 2.5 hours and I managed to run for almost 18 miles at a 142 average and 10:34 pace. I came to a crawl about a month ago trying to run 13 miles under 150, so this looks like progress.
