Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 4 at tempo pace. Much like last week, my warm up was so slow I was concerned about being able to transition into a faster pace. Was surprised that I was able to get into a decent groove pretty quickly. First mile was 6:32 then ran a 6:24 for the second. Third mile finished at the top of an overpass and it really did me in (6:35). Took a short break at the top then finished with another 6:24 (aided). Felt good during the last mile so I should have just gutted out the fatigue and not taken the break. Lesson learned. |
