Today I felt like I needed to take it a little easy. I wanted to start with going an extra mile to prepare for next week, I want to up my mileage to 7 miles a day so I tryed it today to see how it felt. My first mile split was 8:50 just trying to get warmed up 2nd mile was about the same 8:51 mile 3 has a little hill in it but I still was alittle faster at 8:48. Then speed up to 8:20 for mile 4, 5th mile split was 8:27, followed by an 8:25 6th mile split. I decided to see how much I had left in the tank so I picked up on the last mile for a speed run and did a 7:58 7th mile. Some of mile splits where a little slower than usual but I decided to just take it easy today for the most part, I think the extra layers make it harder and work you harder because of the extra wieght. Total time was 59:42, after I hit the timer on my watch I ran another .25 mile cool down which is not reflected in the total time, so total distance was 7.25 miles. I also did 35 minutes of leg training with the bowflex and some core training for my ab's. I am tired today it has been a good week of training , both running and strength training.
See ya next week. |
