I'm done with night workouts on the trail. It just doesn't work. I'm trying to dodge potholes and see through the rain blowing in my headlamp and it simply isn't doing me any good.
I planned a 4-mile tempo and got out late well after dark. I figured running 4xmile with 1:00 rests would be better considering my inability to hit pace at night, but that only helped a little. Splits were 5:36, 5:32, 5:34, 5:29. The effort was too easy, but I was limited by vision.
