Craptastic evening at the track. Garmin took forever to lock in. When it did, it was wildly inaccurate with distance and therefore pace. Plus the legs were just dead. Plan was for four miles at HMP. Didn't happen. At least not four miles nonstop at HMP. What it worked out to was one mile, one mile, then I just decided to go eight laps nonstop and see what happened. Turned out that the two miles were better than either one of the miles. Paces were 7:45, 7:28, 7:25 and somehow 7:12. No idea how I got these legs to do a 7:12 tonight. It was 75 degrees, I was sweating like a pig and the legs had no life.
I've decided that at this point, I can't do three quality runs a week. Maybe I could if I cut back (or out) on the recovery runs. I can do two decent interval workouts, or an interval and a long run, but I can't do intervals twice and a long run. With 37 days to go, I guess I'll just muddle through until the taper. |
