Seems like progress!

Always good to see tangible progress!

On March 26 I ran 9.41 miles at a 7:27 pace... Average HR of 152.

Today, on pretty much the same course, 9.31 miles at 7:05 pace...  Average HR of 152.

Almost all the miles were right around 7:00 pace (+/- 3 sec) except for a 7:16 first mile (warming up)… a 7:20 5th mile (uphill) and a 7:20 7th mile (uphill).

7 minute pace is becoming very doable for me at a hard but not extreme effort.  I felt like I probably could have kept going for a couple more today which is always a positive way to finish a hard run.
