Training Update - One Month In

I've been going pretty hard and running 6 days a week every day since New Years, and I think I'm starting to see improvements.  Most runs have been around 9:30 to 10:30 min/mile pace which is too slow to get close to Fast Alex, but my heart rate has been quite a bit lower than years past, so I am still holding out very, very limited hope that I will see enough improvements to beat Fast Alex.

My hip has been pretty sore, especially in weeks 3 and 4 which led to me easing off on the mileage a fair touch.  However, this week it has felt a lot better.

In addition to running I've been pushing other exercises a fair bit, doing 3 X 1KM rowing every week and also core and weight training.  Maybe that will help too?
