S7H. WMCA noon. WU 1.5 miles. Knee sore but alright after warming up. WD 0.5 mile. Ran 3.1 miles @ 7:08 pace (PR). Ran mostly at controlled hard effort. Legs 93%: Felt a bit tired during the run. May not 100% recover yet? Heart 91%: Controlled hard effort. Breathing was fast but steady on last mile but never out of breath. Feel like its getting a little bit stronger compares to the last 5K run when I ran at 7:13 pace 10 days ago. Mind 92%: More confident and relax going into and during the run. Had less negative thought. Could have run faster on the last 400m but chose not to. I believe I could have run 3.1 miles at 7:05 on the treadmill today! I can hardly wait until I am able to run 5 K at 7:00 pace. Looks like the body is adapting to the new speed faster than the mind. |
