LM warmup, 14.13 miles in 1:51:44, 7:55/mi, HR 150 & stretching. Sunny and warm (60F+). Ran up into Elbe Hills and back. Slow going uphill and legs felt pretty wasted by the halfway point. Managed to beat the 8 minute guy back but not without pushing. Cardio is feeling good. Leg strength and endurance needs a bit of time to catch up. The leap back into 70-80 mile week(s) is putting a load on that's slowing my easy run paces down a bit (and probably my hard workout days too for that matter), but despite a twinge here or there, everything feels good and tired and I know they'll come around stronger for it. All I need to do is hang in there. |
