Today was an awesome day for a run, the temp. when I got home from work was around 55 degrees, perfect. Today I also had good energy, felt strong in my legs like they had some good power going up the hills. I set a new PR in the 7 mile for myself, total time was 1:00:35, with an average pace of 8:34. I was most pround of my last three miles with an average pace of 8:24, And the last 1.2 miles was all uphill with an average pace of 8:24. So the last 3 miles I will count as fast miles today. my mile splits were as follows.
Mile 1. 8:56
2. 8:39
3. 8:48
4. 8:30
5. 8:23
6. 8:24
7. 8:24
I also did 25 min. of upper body weight training. Tomorrow will be a recovery run I'm sure. |
