Wanted to keep a nice an steady 7:30 throughout the run. Haven't run on the LPT for a long time so that is where I headed. First 12 miles were great. The pace felt comfortable and I was gradually speeding up. The last 3 felt like I got hit by a truck. I was completely wiped out and I had to shift into survival mode. I think these types of runs are good every once in a while so you can build the mental strength to keep going when your body is not cooperating. Running a respectable time at the Moab 1/2 next month is very much in doubt. |
