Odometer 20B: 35.5mi

Z4 threshold. Average/max heart rate = 149/163

Getting a day and a half of rest in between I hoped might generate something faster, but I really petered out at the end-- about as close to hitting the wall as I've done in a while, in a way that I really didn't expect. Usually the last 1.2mi is the fastest, but that was categorically not the case today.

I was gratified to run 9.17mi, but the finish was unpromising. Max VO2 remains 43, so I guess my brief glimpse of 44 was only going to be a fleeting shot.

That means I either need to do more strength work (difficult while the gyms are closed for the COVID-19 shutdown) or I need to lose more weight.  I had plateaued for a bit at earlier weights, but I'm hoping I'll drop below 190 for the first time in a while.  If I was really serious about it, I'd do more to change my diet, but maybe not yet.  Yet.
