Best run I've had for quite a while. I think maybe I'm finally getting my legs/endurance back again. Wanted to push the pace a bit and do most miles around the 8:00 pace. Was happy that I was able to do this without totally running out of steam around mile 8-9 as has been the case previously. My mile splits were as follows:
1 - 9:08
2 - 8:07
3 - 8:08
4 - 8:20
5 - 7:53
6 - 7:53
7 - 7:37
8 - 7:48
9 - 7:48
10 - 8:16
11 - 8:36
12 - 8:16
13 - 7:57
14 - 7:56
15 - 9:43
One other thing I noticed after today's run I want to mention so I remember for later reference......with the spring weather as a family we worked thru most of the day doing some spring cleaning, mostly in the yard so I was on my feet moving around all day after the run. Previously after long runs I've done a lot of sitting/laying around and have felt pretty sore in my legs thru the day and the next day. BUT today with all the moving around my legs feel great! I guess I already knew that a walk after long run was helpful but I had forgotten what a difference it can make! I'll need to remember every Saturday after the long run to keep moving thru the day. As a side benefit it makes the wife happy too to have me taking care of all the honey dos!! |
