Notes
I did a long tempo today, trying to make the most of the final weeks to Boston before the taper begins. My legs were still a bit tired from the tough weekend, but yesterday's easy day seemed to have helped a lot. Unfortunately though, the bise was ripping across the lake with about 20 mph winds. This meant a really nasty headwind for the first half of the tempo, but a decent tailwind for the second half.
I did 5.05 miles in 28:40, then took a 2:30 recovery (the wind and a steep hill did me in - needed a short break for my tired legs), and then did another 4.6 miles in 25:10 with a bit of a tailwind and a generous downhill back into the city. In general I actually felt okay during the workout - except for the wind sapping my legs for the first half - which was nice to see after the hard weekend.
