I very much underestimated the heat effect today. Temps were around 85 degrees and I ran at 1:30pm. I got hammered by the heat. Luckily I went by a bike shop that I knew the owner, and by the Running Center. I got water at both locations and stopped for about 5 minutes at each. The first stop was at 5 miles and the 2nd at 8.8 miles. Splits as follows:
7:48, 7:42, 7:35, 7:40, 7:38, (after the stop I decided to slow things down before the heat started effecting me negatively) 8:05, 7:56, 8:03, 8:03, 7:53, 6:35 (.82 miles 8:04s) |
