DaveP Remember to modify your target pace by the weather conditions.

Thanks for the tip. According to this I needed a 3% adjustment, so my 7:50 should have been 8:04. May be correct in theory, but hard to bring yourself to do that in practice, I think.

Yep it can be. But when you get to the later intervals you will still be on target. Do it a few times and it will sink in (and you'll start to feel when you over ran the first ones)
I can't see either of those pics
Weird. Now I can see the pics. Maybe it's just user error.
You probably just need to eat, like Imma 'bout to!

Yeah...now THAT I'll eat!
This pic does not do it justice but trust me it was sickeningly rich.
It's a flippin' miracle!
5 recovery miles done. I'm looking ahead on the pfitz schedule and getting scared. I'm kind of wishing I had a little stronger base before launching into this now.
Glad to see the food porn is alive and well on the Dailies. Tonight is DH birthday so I'm off to go bake him a chocolate cake.
Life is good.
I so wanted that cake before my run, but now that I did my intervals in 88F heat, I feel like barfing just looking at the picture... Such a waste of perfectly good lusting... sigh... 10 miles, including 8x800m @ 6:52 mpm (3:26 for the technical freaks), with 400m jog intervals, plus 2 miles w/u and 2 miles c/d. I rarely do the w/u, c/d and jog intervals at the right pace, but today, you're damn right I was running them slow. I did not stop once, though, despite the heat, and I'm very happy with that. Now off to shower, I'm drenched.

Did my intervals at 80 degrees F, dew point of 64 F, in the sun. The TROPICS I tell you
88? It's about 80 here. Unless you count humidity? Or is that the temperature in your garage?
Nice job on the intervals.

I can understand the trepidation but you honestly should look no further than the next run, or two if you must. Going any further than that and it is just too much for the brain to handle.
You do not need to run all those runs at once so why stress or worry over them. That is how I view it anyway, not that I know WTF I am doing. I just take it one run at a time, one workout at a time and sometimes literally one mile at a time.

32C in the garage at the moment. 30C when I began my run. My SO is going to yell at me because of the smell I left behind. I don't know what he's talking about... My shoes only have 200 miles on them, almost brand new! Granted they're soaked with feet perspiration, but really, it's just good healthy sweat. I swear!
My dew point was 70 this morning and sweat was dripping from my elbows during my run!
Seems like the dewpoint here was somewhere around 66F. Not sure how that would work inside the garage, though. The same, higher or lower? I have no clue...
