Finally managed some semblance of a long run, after trying for couple of weeks. It was a bit too warm, 70F, but no sun, so not too bad. I started off at a slower pace than yesterday, hoping to not get tired too soon. Felt pretty good after the first loop, then started the second. Unfortunately, after 40 min. I started feeling chest pain again, and after 54 min. it got so bad, that I stopped and walked for about a minute. Then started running again, very easy, and felt a little better, so was able to finish. But this run showed me that 7 miles is still too long, I probably should not have gone more than 6. I hope I don't feel any consequences tomorrow. I want to build up my mileage, but it seems that my body is not quite ready yet. Still, I finished May with a lot more miles than April (around 80), and this week is the highest mileage week, so there is definitely progress.
Total time: 1:05:36 (9:22 pace). |
