Megaloop>> RAIN! WIND! Coolest day of the summer, near-perfect normal temp (still too warm to run- perfect would be at least 10 degrees cooler- like barely sweat temp). 22:21. (7:42/mi) Time Factors> Slowers: weight from water in shirt and shoes, wind. Fasters: more time since meal than usual, cooler temp.
Summer Training Analysis: July 1 and July 15, I did 2.2 mi at about 7:30 pace. By the end of the 2-month Megalooping experience this summer, I was able to do 2.9 mi at the same pace. Strictly looking at the 2.9-miler conditions, I improved my pace by a minute over the course of the 50-ish days. There aren't enough data points to say anything conclusive about when I started seeing results and whether I hit a plateau. Integrating speedwork in the fall will probably drop the time further, so I don't think it's a plateau. And continuing to push my lactate threshhold would probably have kept the times dropping, if the summer was longer. Cooler temps will also play a role. That big mountain involved recovery runs, and I'll try to determine what else. Maybe I needed a rest period at that time - maybe there's something to that week's-rest-ever-6-weeks concept. "Day 1" is just the first time I did the Megaloop. I had been training before, then, too, so it's not necessarily the month-mark where the badness peak occured. I would say that it was heat-related, but even in 100+ heat index-weather, I reached my peak of the 7:30/mi-ish pace.
