After today's 5.15 mile run I'm sitting at 521.55 miles for the year which puts me roughly 5.5 miles away from surpassing my 2024 total mileage for the year. With nearly 5 months left in 2025 I'm proud of that accomplishment.
Also today: 5.15 miles at 8:44 pace with an average HR of 139. A couple comparable are 5.01 miles on May 2nd at 8:46 pace with an average HR of 148 and 5.18 on July 2nd at 8:53 pace with an average HR of 150. It's always good to have confirmation of recent gains. Also encouraging to see my HR lowering on easy runs as I build aerobic fitness... it seemed until recently that no matter how easy I ran, my HR was still overly elevated so this is positive progress for sure.
Every time I get out of shape I develop serious doubts that I will ever be able to build up my fitness again, and every time it seems to get a little bit harder but so far I've always been able to pull through in the end.
