I was not sore at all today after my attempted tempo run last night, which I thought was a great sign. The last time I attempted a similar workout, I was pretty sore the next day. Seven miles has started to feel pretty easy, so I thought I'd try 8. I got out of the residential area and was running among skyscrapers. I thought I would hate running down there, but it was really cool! Guess I'm a truly an urban girl at heart. :-)
Total time was 1:17:10, 9:39 average. I was happy that I was able to keep up the same pace with an added mile, even though my splits were kind of all over the place! My mile splits were 9:35, 9:48, 9:40, 9:38, 9:41.5, 9:47, 9:40, and 9:13. My heart rate was low-to-normal at the end and was under 90 within 5 minutes.
1:50, BRING IT ON!!!! |
