Up at 4:30am and I did my standard 4 mile tempo run this morning, starting with a 2 mile warm up, and then I eased into my tempo run. I felt pretty good to start out but I think I started a little to strong so towards the end I eased off a bit, that split was 7:14 followed by 7:24 which was a gradual up hill, hit my turn around and picked up the pace, 6:59. I then followed that up with an easier split of 7:33, my legs were a little tired at this point hence the reason for slowing up a bit. I think I could of maintained a quicker pace but I didn't want to push it to hard, I wanted to stay in control and smooth. My heart rate for the tempo averaged between 157 and 161, except for the threshold mile that was more like 166-169 when I peaked. I then did a two mile cool down, and some stretching. I didn't have time to do any strength training as I had to be in Heber at 8:00 am to meet with a client, I am hoping to complete the upper body weight training when I get home after work. I am sitting at work writting this and my legs are a little tired, but that is what they make recovery runs for, right... My average pace was 8:06, and my heart rate average was 146. Total time was 1:05:09
See ya tomorrow...
Added some strength training this evening, 20 minutes of upper body and core weight training...
