Ran a somewhat quick 14.25 miles from Twigg's down trail, through Rose-Hulman, Woodridge, Deming Park, down Ohio Street to third street and back in 1:38:43. Had a 15 mph ESE breeze to deal with on the way back. Amazing how effortless that 6:28 and 6:33 mile felt toward the middle. Did struggle though the last mile into the wind. Intent was to run 7:20 pace, but 6:50 pace today was my 7:20 pace... My training pace is getting faster and faster. Even though I've run 98 miles in the last 9 days and the legs are tired, 6:50+ pace feels easy. Had a little bit of IT tenderness about 10 miles in that I worked out. |
