It's been fun the last few weeks not having much of a plan and just winging it with running. I've had a few friends to cheer on in both NYC marathon and Philadelphia marathon over the past few weeks. Right now the only thing on the schedule for November is a small 5k for Thanksgiving. I had a 19 mile week last week and I think that's probably where I want to keep it for right now.
One change over the past two weeks has been that the cold weather has started to settle in. It was about 30 degrees this morning on my run which I am not so much used to. However, it felt good and my pace is slowly starting to get back to where it has been in the past. I'm looking ahead to a good speed increasing plan for the winter/spring so that I might have a shot at getting close to my next goal which is increasing speed for the half marathon distance.
Other than that not too much else going on (thankfully). I am going to keep looking for a new watch to track heart rate as well after my scare a few weeks ago with passing out. I don't know yet what I'm going to get but the Garmin Vivoactive HR is looking like a top pick. The wrist based HR is what I want because I hate the chest strap ones.
I'm thinking the next few week will be 3 runs during the week (one 3 mile, two 4 mile) and then a long run between 6-10 miles. That will keep me around 17-21 miles which is good for the off season. Also need to investigate some speed work plans for one of my short runs during the week.
