Medium long run. Feeling very good today, with decent temps (22F) and clear (enough) roads. Averaged 142HR for the first 12 miles, about 6:25 pace, then dropped the pace a bit as I was still feeling good after two days of MP runs. Last four miles:
6:16(148) | 6:04(154)
5:46(160) | 5:37(165)
:47(130) :57(120) 1:40(110)
Felt fine after the run, but did a cold bath anyway--it always helps. Everything feeling really good the last few days. Recovery day tomorrow, then the first volume speed work on Tuesday, maybe. The schedule got a bit messed up due to a missed week of workouts due to minor injury.
If you're running outside, the weather must be almost seasonable, although I'd be describing 22F as indecent.
ReplyDeleteSome good training days there, if I can be daring enough to say so.
It's about 10-12F cooler than normal for March, but 'normal' for March usually means a constant 20 mph wind, so I'll take cooler over windy any day. BTW, 22F is still indecent, even if it is seasonable!
ReplyDeleteYes, I had a good run of training with no real fatigue to speak of, which is a good sign. I'll pull back the intensity for a couple of days, focus on recovery, and get ready for more of the same this weekend.
Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
