LM warmup, 14 miles in 1:45:26, 7:32/mi, HR 163 & stretching. Ran up to Forest Road 8 and back in a mix of sun, clouds and drizzle. Pushed the effort heading uphill, especially the last two miles. Threw in a couple of early short fartleks up the steeper sections to prime the engine. Focused on good form, decent stride length, and push-off, so I was working. Pit stop at the turnaround, then kept things honest headed back downhill. Legs really started wearing out by mile 9-10 but I managed to keep the effort and pace up through the end. Probably a good call to run 14 instead of 12 today, but doubt I could've handled much further without falling off pace. All in all, felt like a good tiring solid workout. |
