7 miles -- maffetone test #3

I ran another maffetone test today. The test was done identically to the last two (5/13 and 6/3).

Weather
5/13 - 56F temp/53F dew pt.
6/03 - 66F temp/60F dew pt.
6/24 - 70F temp/67F dew pt.

Warmup (a little over two miles)
5/13 - 21:04/131
6/03 - 22:49/131
6/24 - 22:13/133

5/13 6/3 6/24
Mile 1 09:18 09:59 09:53
Mile 2 09:32 10:02 10:01
Mile 3 09:35 09:57 09:54
Mile 4 09:45 09:59 10:09
Mile 5 09:52 10:05 10:19

- From 1/1 through 5/13 before maffetone, I ran 805 miles (42 mpw).
- From 5/14 through 6/3, I ran 122 miles (41 mpw). I really feel like I was less fit at the second test then the first. I guess that's to be expected since my mpw were the same and I dropped intensity. (I was recovering from a marathon on 5/7 or I'd have run more.)
- From 6/4 through 6/24, I ran 154 miles (51 mpw). I'd say I was in about the same or slightly better shape than the second test. It felt muggier today.

I guess I'll just keep applying the mileage and hope I hit a turning point.
