Group run on the Cedar River Trail. This is my yardstick run. I've done this one enough times to compare my fitness level from month to month. I forgot my garmin this morning so I turned around to go get it so that I would have another data point for comparison. It's an out and back 7 mile route. My running has been erratic due to all the traveling so my legs felt "fresh" this morning. My Garmin is going on me. I've run this so many times I know exacly how long the route is and today the garmin measured it short so my ave pace was a little better than recorded. Outbound 7 miles AP 8:18 8:50 / 8:48 / 8:11 / 8:03 / 8:07 / 8:14 / 7:57 Inbound 7 miles: Garmin malfunctioned. Probably similar AP with the first 3 miles under 8mm and the last 2 miles around 9. 2 miles cool down around Lake Wilderness. |
