Ran the Providence and Millville Loop this morning. I can't believe that my legs are STILL fatigued from the relay. Man!! I started out easy then pushed it pretty hard on the up hills and ran 1 fast mile at 1/2 marathon pace to see if I was a wimp or if my legs really are as tired as they feel. I did 1 mile in 6:00 on a 1% downhill. I briefly thought about doing two but the next was into the wind and had rolling hills (wimped out). I ended up with a 7:18 next mile and that felt hard. I felt like my HR was low but I couldn't get the fuel to run fast today. I think I had better do something like 8 miles tomorrow and Friday to try and get back into racing shape.
Total Time: 1:25:20 (7:10 ave)
Ave HR: 158 (Max HR 173 on uphill miles, 172 at end of fast mile) |
