Kent~Brother, you just went through a huge step is periodization. Alot of people begin to panic when they are tired "all the time" and can barely get there...
Reference: From MadDog's lips to your ears: Coach never gives me more than I can handle. Should he trust me that much? I have been tempted a couple times this...
... Kent ~ That's what I'd do. I would also change the MHR number back and forth when doing my daily post run analysis to compare the different results with...

The strap was large enough when new. Maybe I should increase my pace at the pasta feeds and fill into it again. lol Actually, I have plenty of adjustment...
