I tried the double-Boulder Res loop tempo run again yesterday, with vastly improved results. Here it is:
15.5 miles in 1:42:33 as:
-20′ Warmup, HR 130
-Lap 1: 33:20, HR 158 (6:24 / mile)
-Lap 2: 32:37, HR 168 (6:15 / mile)
-17′ Cooldown, HR 137

Total tempo run was 10.4 miles in 1:05:57 including a pee break and
stopping once to tie my shoe. Actual effort was steady for first
50 minutes, then tempo for the last 16. Much more useful for me
to keep the effort level down – actual tempo running is a much higher
effort than I can sustain in a long race, so I feel like there’s not
too much point in training such a high intensity. So I’ll train
the lower intensity for now. Good results lately!
