5:15 am, 5 Mile run in 34:20 on the Treadmill, tried to pickup the pace a little bit to get the legs moving. Then I went out to the trail to attempt a 4 mile Tempo Run. I could tell right away that my legs aren't completely back yet, I wanted to keep a 6:00 /mil pace but my legs just weren't up to it. The mile splits went like this 5:58, 6:28, 6:33, 6:32. (10 days ago I did a 5 mile tempo run on the same trail at 5:58, 6:12, 6:17,6:20,6:16) So a bit sluggish today to say the least.
Avg Pace for Tempo, 6:22/mile Max HR for Tempo 176 90% of max (only for 5 seconds so it could be a misread)
Avg HR for Tempo 168 84% of max (LT runs should be between 157 - 174, so good)
Avg Pace for total 10 Miles 6:48/mile Forgot to mention I went water skiing last night with elders quorum, first time I've been water skiing in probably 20 years, may have had something to do with my slow run too.
