I ran my Payson Park loop today and my legs seem to be coming back just a bit which is a good sign. After mile 5 I realized I was running to fast so I reeled myself in just a bit, I was averaging an 8:16 mile for the first 5 miles and that is more of a tinman tempo pace than an easy pace, so I slowed down those last 2 miles . My average pace was 8:25 with my HR average at 146 total time was 1:00:12, my IT-band was okay it really didn't bother me although I could still feel it just a bit, but it didn't seem to hinder me in any way so I am hoping that it is slowly getting better;-) I finished up with some strength training on my upper body and then rolled my leg, iced my IT-band as well, thats about it... I am hoping that I am over the dead leg issue but we shall see, you never know with this old running game it can be brutal at times!
See ya tomorrow. |
