There is a 7 mile loop around Cherry Creek Park, including the run to/from my hotel to the Park. My thought was to do this loop and see how the altitude affects me.

The run;

Well I completed 10.75 miles, I guess I missed the turn off, It took me 1 hour 26 minutes and 37 seconds.

My Average Pace was 8:03 – I know this is too fast for a long slow run, and I’m not sure why I ran so fast, but I was feeling great and I just ran, nearly feeling no effort.

Average Heart Rate: 139

Max Heart Rate: 193

Recovery: Being in the US I didn’t have my protein drink, so after I got back to the hotel and had my shower, I had my breakfast – Porridge, nuts, berries & lots of water.
