Warmed up 1.5 miles and then ran a 5 mile tempo with Garry and Jake. Averaged 5:25, the first 5k was 5:20 pace for 16:35 and then I fell off pace a bit the last mile or two with a 5:28 and 5:34 to close. To be fair the original goal pace was 5:30 and those guys averaged 5:19. I'm pretty happy with this, I'm not too far off of being able to keep with them for the whole thing. Big confidence booster that I can go sub 33 at Des news 10k. Cooled down running with the Weber team, also did a 5 minute plank which was pretty solid considering I haven't tried a plank in years. Another mile run to big O... hopefully the last for a while. Also my left IT band has been acting up recently, was feeling pretty sore this morning but after some stretching and massage gun it felt mostly better for this short run. Gotta keep up with the injury prevention exercises and stretches. |
