Tonight was another somewhat icky run. Total time was 59:31, average 9:55 mile. The Garmin was off by .03, though. I ran until it said 3.0, turned around, and it logged 5.97. I have the new 305, and it hasn't done this before. Oh well. My splits were: 10:08, 10:00, 10:06, 10:14, 9:56, and 9:26.
I'm somewhat confused by two nights in a row of sub-par performance. I'm getting the same amount of sleep, eating lots of carbs, and staying somewhat sane at work. I remember when training for past marathons that I was supposed to cut the mileage back every 4th week. This will be my 4th week of 30+ miles. Maybe I'm overtraining a bit???....Any advice or insight would be much appreciated. |
