6:00 am. Met Ryan at his house, I told him to find a flat 10 mile route to do a semi tempo run. I wanted to try and simulate my Monday 10 mile treadmill run. Found out it's much harder to do outside. We seemed to either go to fast or to slow, never could hit our splits quite right. After the first 5 miles of pretty fast pace we decided to do the second half at just a comfortable 7:00/mile pace, my leg was hurting still pretty bad and neither of us could really quite get into it. Ended up doing 10.2 miles in 1:08:37 6:45/mile average pace. Not exactly what I wanted out of my run this morning but I can't always get what I want I suppose. |
