The running went well but I was tired on the bike.
My goal for the week was to go a little faster on the shorter runs. An effort with my HR just under 140 bpm or nearer 8:45 min/mile. For the last year or so I adopted the run easy/run a lot approach and I don't think it's worked out for me.
I'm shifting back to a run as fast as I want as long as I can complete all my prescribed workouts approach and I'm going to keep my volume near 30 miles/week This is what I did for many years and it appears to have worked for me. I'm not going crazy on the easy runs; I'm going to keep them with a HR of 135-140 and a little bit under 9 min/mile which is still on the easy side.
My second goal was to do all the intensity prescribed on the bike and hold the easy rides a little harder than I have (155 watts compared to the 135 I've been doing).
That didn't work as well as it did for the run so I'm going to go back to a slightly easier effort and put in a little bit more volume for the next two weeks. I'd like to bring the time on the bike up to 7-9 hours with less intensity.
