Nice day today. 4:45pm, no wind and 45 degrees. Did a 4.4 mile out in 31:44 (7:13s) and back in 30:13 (6:52s). Finished with a .5 mile cool down. The goal today was to get in some base miles at a 'comfortable' pace. Again today the pace was faster than I intended, but it felt comfortable. Interestingly, it felt less stressful (not that this describes the feeling, but I use it in a technical sense) than yesterdays run, despite the fact that the overall ppm was faster today (1:01:57 [7:02s)]). The trip back felt like I was going at a nice aerobic oriented base pace, despite the fact that it was actually at goal M-pace. I guess the best way to describe today's run was that it certainly didn't feel like I was going at M-pace, but 20 or secs slower. So this was a good run! Faster than intended, but in the confines of how I intended the run to feel. |
