12.5 miles in 1:40:24, 8:02/mi, HR 158. 30 min warmup, 3.5 mi, 8:33/mi, HR 144. Fartleks: 20 x 1 min on, 1 min off. 30:24 cooldown, 4.05 mi, 7:30/mi, HR 157. Hard repeats today. After crunching the numbers, I think I probably pushed them a bit hard....average pace was 5:28/mi over rolling terrain that wound up gaining some elevation overall. No wonder it felt like a puke run. Wound up walking a majority of the resting periods, which should've told me something but by that point I was only focused on getting ready for the next repeat, not thinking about why it was so tough. Adrenaline 8s (Blue) - 250.43 miles. 4 miles in 34:25, 8:36/mi, HR 141. Recovery run....left adductor sore and stiff for first couple of miles..even after things got looser still a labor just to jog. Adrenaline 8s (Blue) - 254.43 miles. |
