First off, Jeff you are my hero. This run killed me. I wasn't fully recovered from yesterday my legs were still a little soft. I had predetermined to do a speed work out in some resemblance of my buddy Jeff. So here goes the report....Started out at 6:39 "warm up". And went down from there. 1st 10K 39:16, last 4.2-26:02 (I varied speed all over here because I was blowing up the faster I went) The last .25 I ran at a 5:25 pace. Now everyone that is currently running extended 5:15 paces trying to OTQ are amazing runners. I am starting to appreciate the sheer speed people have so much more. I might have to reevaluate some of my personal goals but I would say that I'm still to stupid and my mind still is saying "that's attainable, an average runner can get there" so with that I'm planning on not walking tomorrow now and still running some type of shake out run with my wife outside if the weather allows. Overall run. 10.64/1:05:18/6:08 Heart Rate was down were is should've been, although one read was 188 bpm which is above my maximum estimated rate of 185. I didn't die and I wasn't completely out of breath at the moment so I'm guessing my max is higher. I've been very sporadic with my supplements lately, I'm pretty much just on race caps right now. Energy has been decent but I need to get better food in me. All of this junk food will soon be done in a few weeks and all of the sugary temptations gone. I've been reading Suicide by Sugar lately and it definitely adds some guilt to what I've been shoving in my mouth not to mention how I feel. That's probably the biggest factor in why my body just doesn't feel right lately. Or it could be that I'm pushing so hard and not recovering enough i.e. sleep and slow runs...but I've had a break soooo I'm guessing crap food. |
