Legs still feeling tired, and I got sore adductors too, not sure why - probably from housework yesterday. Started out not feeling great, not sure whether to run easy or try Tinman Tempo. After 1.5mi I decided that I don't really want to slog at 9:00 pace for an hour, and that maybe I won't feel any worse if I tried some tempo. Well, I did feel worse, but not much, and once I started, I was on a roll and wasn't going to stop until I finished the whole thing. I ran 5 mile tempo, starting at 8:07 avg. pace and ending at 7:59 avg. Total 39:53 for the tempo. First couple of miles were harder than last 3. Legs were really tired by the end, but I made it. Then did 4x100m strides on track with 100m jog. It turned into a pretty good workout after all.
Total time: 1:08:13 (8:25 pace), not counting strides. |
