5 miles - 38:00
Legs were still a little tired so I went a nice and easy 5 miles. Right now I am in what I call a base building phase of my training. I'm trying to build an aerobic base for what I plan to do in the future. This is the foundation of distance running and if you want to stay healthy and get faster it is essential to have this base period. To often runners worry about doing intervals or specific workouts to "get fast" and really you just need to worry about getting in the L.S.D or Long Slow Distance. This is why you will often hear me talk about using a heart rate monitor and making sure I'm in the proper zone. The bigger the aerobic base the better you can be as a runner!!!
