well today I did a long run and I was by myself. My buddies couldn't make it for various reasons. I started when it was drizzling out and it continued to drizzle for ten miles. I was pretty much soaked then but only a bit of my shoes were wet (until the end when they were wet). The plan was to run 10 easy and then 10 progressively faster until 6:00 flat or faster. I went up Beach drive and ran out of road at an intersection at 8 miles so I turned around and ran past where I entered the trail, ran 1.5 miles and turned around again. This extra bit turned out to be very hilly which you can see in my splits. I also went too hard around the 13-14 mile area where you feel great but slowly faced the "wall" at mile 18-20. Anyways my legs hurt now. splits: 7:15, 7:05, 6:55, 6:45, 6:52, 6:48, 6:51, 6:39, 6:35, 6:35, = 6:50 6:20, 6:15, 6:02, 6:06, 6:12, 6:20, 6:11, 6:25, 5:59, 6:27, = 6:13 8:15 (CD) |
