Notes
Ran my loop through Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace, and through Trafalgar Square again this evening, doing a 6 mi steady state/tempo in the middle of the 9ish mile run. I bought new road racing shoes this afternoon to wear in the marathon this weekend so I wore them for the workout in an effort to start breaking them in a bit, and they felt good. I'm not entirely sure on the pace for the tempo because using mapmyrun it tells me that what I ran was almost exactly 6 mi, yet I did it in 33:40 which would put me at about 5:40 while not pushing super hard.. And while I'd like to think that's right, it seems a little fast. I was wearing new, light shoes, but even so that seems unlikely. Nevertheless, it felt pretty good though I wasn't feeling quite as strong as I should have (thanks, days off).
