Tuesday temple run. I wasn't especially energetic when I got up. I was even dreading having to do a tempo run this morning. Felt OK once I got going. First mile 7:33 (flat to downhill), second mile 7:24 (slight downhill), third mile 7:46 (rolling), fourth mile 8:49 (uphill) and fifth mile 7:52 (uphill then downhill). I know I was pushing it a bit today, even felt a little nauseated by the top of the hill on 40th. Recovered fairly quickly at the top. Took off more than two minutes over last week (39:25 compared to 41:26). Average heart rate increased, however, from 159 to 161 and spent more time above my lactate threshold (31:16 as opposed to 27:41 last week). |
