Today was a tough run. My legs were tired and the effort felt hard, even though the pace was the usual. I started at 8:07 pace and then moved down to 7:58 average over the next 4 miles. Then I timed the last mile separately, and it was 7:45. That brought the overall average to 7:55 pace. HR was 162-165, which seems a bit high, but I never wore HRM on this tempo before so I can't compare. Was supposed to do strides after the tempo, but ran out of time and had to just jog home. Total time 1:07:50. |
