I am using Hansons, again, for this training period. Hansons has a few key features. First, you run 6 days a week. Second, there are two fast runs per week. On Tuesdays, you run speed or strength (5K pace in the beginning & -10 MP during the second half), and on Thursdays, you run at marathon pace. The third feature is a long run on the weekend. I like a long run, so I usually look forward to that one. Speed is difficult, but I can usually wrap my mind around it. My marathon pace run is, by far, the hardest of the week for me. It is a mental challenge. I start to worry about it on Wednesday.
I had really hoped to go for my marathon pace during this run (7:53), but the wind was blowing 16 MPH when I left, and I knew that I would have a headwind for most of the run. I figured that I would try for 8:05.
I ended up doing 5.4 miles at 7:55. I feel pretty good about it because I was so much improved from last week. The run is difficult. It starts uphill and ends uphill. Today I had the added problem of a headwind starting at abut the 2.25 mile mark.

I took a recovery jog of almost 1/2 mile and did another mile interval at 7:43. Including warm up and cool down, I ran almost 9 miles in total.
I wore the show with the Milestone Pod. Data was about the same as last time.
