43F. Yep, pretty much perfect weather, not much wind either. So I cranked out 9 easy, followed by 4 tempo. 9 easy in 7:56 AP. 4 tempo in 6:27 AP (6:37, 6:34, 6:27, 6:09). Overall 7:29 AP. Obviously a little carried away at the end, as 6:09 is out of my tempo range but I rarely ever run that fast so probably no harm done. I ran in the Type A shoes today, and now I'm wondering if this would be a better shoe than the Kinvara for races. They are not quite as comfortable, but seem to rebound a lot better than the softer Kinvaras. Probably need to test them more, it might be too much pounding for a marathon but I'd like to try them in some longer runs. |
