I love this time of the year here in AZ! You can really feel it change for the hot Summer to the cool Fall. Well, cool is relative to AZ. A cold front came in over the last several days, so it is in the high 60's low 70's in the morning and only gets up to mid to high 80's. Absolutely gorgeous on my run this morning. Did 3.5 miles of my running intervals and hit my fastest sprint ever! There is this one section on my course where I just run as fast as I can. My previous record was on 7/28 at a pace of 8:16 and today I hit 7:29! I was so shocked when I looked at my Garmin, to stop dead in my tracks.
I changed up my stride a bit. I was landing on my heals, but now I am hitting mid foot. I also shorten my stride a bit. Running is my weakest event, so any improvement I can make is a good thing.
I had a pretty successful week in my workouts this week.
Sun - 10 mile bike, 1,000 yrd swim
Tue - elliptical and weights
Wed - 2,000 yrd swim
Fri - elliptical and weights
Sat - 3.5mile run
Changing things up a bit with my nutrition. I brought my carb count up to 30-35 grams per day. Still able to stay in ketosis at this level. Weight stayed the same, which is fine for now.
Signed up for my Fall Tri's. Next one is on 11/3 and then the Thanksgiving Tri. Pretty excited since I have not had an event in awhile. Life is good!
