Noon: 19 miles, averaged 7:59. HR 148.
20 x 2' On/Off
Warmed up trying to decide which spot I wanted to do the workout. I did not want to do fast stuff on concrete, so I went to the park, which was runnable but not ideal footing for faster stuff, so I popped back on into the neighborhood and did it on a 1-mile square I marked out when we first got here. 4 miles up with strides.
Workout went quite well, but not as fast as I would like to be but it is as fast as I am. I can run forever and I can run a long time between 6:40-6:15 pace, but I really can't sustain sub-6 for very long it seems. Marathon training and 100-mile weeks I surmise.
Cover 6.75 miles in the 40 minutes, so just under 6' pace or about 10-15 seconds faster than marathon goal pace. Cooled down 4.25 miles.
I slept 12 hours last night. I worried it was the onset of a depressive episode, but I think I was just beat and my body told me to rest.
