Same run as last 2 weeks, but 1 mile longer (1/2 mile further up canyon). 1/2 mile warmup. 8 pace miles up and down City Creek Canyon. Uphill this week vs. last 3 weeks.
7:45-157bpm. 7:28 / 7:39 / 7:38 8:28-161. 8:33 / 8:15 / 8:18 8:49-160. 8:36 / 8:36 / 8:36 8:34-162. ave 8:39-160 8:12 / 8:10 / 8:10
Downhill 6:31-165 6:21-170 6:12 / 6:19 / 6:16 6:17-171 6:15 / 6:16 / 6:24 6:07-174 5:57 / 5:57 / 6:08 ave 6:19-170 6:08 / 6:11 / 6:16
Run ave. 7:21-164 7:11 / 7:13 / 7:16 Two steps forward and one step back. Strong effort and slow splits. I am tired and my legs are more tired. During every mile my legs felt fatigued. Last time I ran intervals in 88° heat on Tuesday my Thursday tempo run went even worse. So, maybe it was that or maybe I am just sort of worn out? Despite my fatigue and slowness, I feel ok about this run. Tomorrow's longer run could be interesting.
