Tonight I ran at the same pace as normal, but it felt more labored. By mile 6, my legs felt like they were running through molasses (or syrup?), although cardio-wise, I felt fine. I'm not sure what that means: maybe slight overtraining? I'm going to do 15 miles this weekend, nice and slowly.
Total time was 1:07:39, a 9:40 average. My mile splits were 9:34, 9:44, 9:43, 9:46, 9:38.5, 9:38.5, and 9:33. I didn't have the extra kick in me tonight. But I took my heart rate when I finished, and it was only 130-135. Within 5 minutes, it was down to 80. Gotta take it easy on the legs... |
