Very slow run today it seemed. The wind was a kicker again like Saturday. I did 13.22 miles at an overall 7:29 in 1:38:50. I was sluggish as well probably all the Father's Day food and Texas Roadhouse and what my family made for dessert afterwards. It's funny how us endurance runner's feel better in the later miles, and that's how it felt today. I ran 80, 77 and 81 miles the last three weeks the most since my recovery. I do think I need a cut-back week on mileage. Shorten the distance but increase intensity for speed. Do have a strategy yet but thinking of 4-5 mile tempo run 1 mile warm-up and 1 mile cool down. Then another day 6 X 800m on the track or road. I need to figure out how to get faster without risk of setback or overdoing it. Thinking of doing my first marathon coming back at Des News Marathon as a training run. I ran this before and know it can beat the quads, but what a good test. Anyway, did do a couple faster miles at the end today 6:56, 6:39 nothing impressive. |
