Ran 8 miles total today. I ran 7 miles at 6:45/7:00 pace and finished with one mile at 5:15 pace. In all, legs felt heavy and the run felt very forced.

It would be a surprise if your legs were not feeling heavy after two tempo runs back to back.

However, being able to run a 5:15 at the end is a good sign. I would suggest another easy day, and then do a tempo or intervals on Friday.

I think it is a good sign that you want to run 7:00 (as opposed to 6:00) on your easy days. This means your hard days are hard enough, and also that your mind is becoming more familiar with the realities of hard training.
