Two words: cumulative fatigue- a new concept I am trying with a new plan. It's kicking my rear end. Running 6 days a week is making me extra hungry, tired, and moody. I don't know why.
A look back In history, if I may....
I remember transitioning from running three days a week to four back in 2011. That was pushing my comfort zone. In 2013 I began averaging four days a week, that made me feel more invested. In 2014 I started doing five days a week, it was definitely a transition. Now going 6 days a week for this cycle is well, hard. No doubt I will transition just like I have before. Cumulative fatigue.

The idea of this workout was to run at marathon pace. I'm really not supposed to run any faster than my goal pace which is really closer to 7:03 but sometimes I battle in my head thinking I'm not reaching for a high enough goal. At the end of the day, I would be saisfied running Boston at that pace. I'm making small steps into my goals this year rather than jumping to where I think I should be. I think that will make the year more enjoyable and successful, as a result. Eventually I will get there.
Overall the workout wasn't too bad!:)
