12pm, 71 degrees and very windy. 6.3 mile recovery run today in 48:05 (7:38s). First 3.15 in 25:05 (7:58s). Took a quick stop at the Y to get some water and then headed back. Second 3.15 in 23:00 (7:18s).
Still going over yesterdays run in my head. And I'm just not sure what to make of it. I wasn't going hard, and I wasn't intending to, but the run still felt so much harder than it should have at 7:39s. My legs were pretty trashed today too, much worse than they usually are after such a run. I think the rest of the week I will continue to run easy, increasing the intensity as the week goes on and try by next weekend to get back down near M-pace for at least 8 miles. It is possible that I've not been getting the approrpiate sleep, so I think maybe I'll start using the sleep tracker if I think about it. Might as well start with last night. I think I got about 7. |
