AM: Plan today is a double. 7am and temps in the low 70s with high humidity. This run was a tough one, felt sluggish and really had to push through it. I suspect that my body was fat burning as a result of still recovering from yesterday, but at a faster pace. I hope anyway. Stopped at mile 4 and 6 to get a slight rest in. I think the Garmin was acting up a little on the run there. The 4th mile felt much faster than the Garmin showed, and the run back (this was an out and back) marked off at .08 miles further than the route out. I also thought that maybe my 4 mile marker was closer than the garmin showed when I was reaching that point. As such, I think this was 8.16 miles in 1:00:19 (7:23s -- garmin shows 7:28s for 8.08). Splits as follows:
8:08, 7:42, 7:28, 7:14 (mostly downhill and I felt I was running sub 7:00s), 7:21, 7:19, 7:09, 5:14 (.75 miles @ 6:59s), 2:41 (.33 recovery miles @ 8:11s)
PM: 5pm, high 80s, high humidity, sunny. Tough run here. My body has still not re-aclimated to this kind of heat and humidity and I'm fairly drained from the last 2 days. Had planned on 8 miles tonight, but there was no way it was happening. Got 4 Fat Miles in around 8:00/mile. 8:09, 8:00, 7:59, 7:49 and .5 miles walking. I finished at the community pool and went straight in for a dip to cool off. |
