Very disappointed with my run this morning. The 7 mile tempo run is the one run in Pfitz's plan that I always have a problem with. Warmed up with 3 super easy miles and felt good. I was going to be running in to the wind for 4+ miles of the tempo miles. I knew I had to focus on effort and not worry about my splits. Unfortunately, I could not get my legs to move as fast as I wanted. The entire run was a struggle even though it didn't feel like I was pushing as hard as I should. Just couldn't get into the run at all. The pace was 6:50-6:55 in to the wind and was hoping that the last 3 miles would be decent once I started running with the wind. The pace got even slower which was a huge blow to my confidence. I stopped after 5 miles to try and regroup. Talked myself into finishing the tempo miles even though they were slow. The last thing that I need is another workout cut short. |
