I only ran 7 miles this morning because I was going to run a max stress test in the afternoon. Total time was 53:58. I felt much better today than yesterday.
In the afternoon for the stress test I ran what I will call 2 miles. Total time was 21 minutes, with a 5 minute cool down at the end. Total distance was probably less than 2 miles, but I maxed out at a 22% grade going 6 mph, while the test started at a 10% grade. My HR maxed out at 189 at the end of the test. I guess this gives me a benchmark that I can use to gauge fitness improvements. If I do this again in a year maybe I can hit 24 minutes instead of 21.
