Decided to push the midweek MLR a little harder than usual tonight. Basically after a pit stop at about 3.5 miles, I put the hammer down, and the rest of the way was well under 9:00 pace, even taking into account water stops and attempted water stops (two fountains out of order). And the last mile and change was under MP. Overall average, stops and all, was about 8:32. Which for me is a pretty darn hard push, considering that 8:03 would get me to Boston. I thnk the legs feel a little stronger now; whether that's due to a little better nutrition, a little better quality sleep, or the supercompensation for last week's 90, hard to say. I'd probably credit sleep one,diet two, and there hasn't been enough time for supercompensation yet IMO. |
