I'm not going to complain about the wind because I didn't have to race in it like many did today. It is much easier to tolerate when it is just a training run. Headed to the LPT again. Am starting to like it a little more. I was very bored with it for a while but I now prefer it over running through town. Started into the wind so I could finish running with the wind. Pace was around 7:50/mile into the wind and it felt comfortable. Turned around at Rose Park golf course and enjoyed the wind at my back. At mile 11 I decided to break up the monotony of the run and alternate fast and slow miles. Ran 6:34, 7:30, 6:30, 7:20, 6:23 for the next 5 miles and finished with 2 easy miles. There was probably no physiological benefit in me doing that but it felt good. |
