Second speed day in a row today well actually a tempo run. Although, it took a fork lift to get me out of bed this morning, because I didn't sleep all night, because of 30 pages from this one system that had the Network Time protocol all out of sync. I was mad, I'm not getting any sleep and today I had to wake up and do a 9 mile tempo run. Well enough of my complaining I'll get back to today.
I first did a warm-up mile of 7:15 then the following; 6:23 (just easing into it, my legs felt tired) 6:14 (better but still felt tire) 6:17 (slower but I felt a little stronger) 6:01 6:06 6:08 6:02 6:08 6:07
Cool down mile of 7:10.
The tempo miles where an average of 6:09 per mile not bad, but I could have pushed harder, but I was tire and I didn't want my form to suffer and risk injury. Face it I was just being lazy.
My wife ask me why I pick to run 9 tempo miles, I told her it just sounded like a good number, and running that many can only make me stronger.
How many tempo miles to other runners run?
Total of 11.1 miles
