Notes
6 miles easy with 4x30s pick ups.
I did 1 pick up in mile 3, 1 in mile 4, and 2 in mile 5. So, I learned an important lesson on my run today. Shortly after my watched beeped for 2 miles, I was planning to do a stride. I looked at my watch so I could time it. After I finished, I switched my screen back to heart rate but I kept thinking that I had seen 19 minutes 45 seconds on my watch after the two mile mark. I started to feel so down about that. I was mentally freaking out a little that I could run two miles at an almost 10 minute pace and it not feel like I was crawling. I started to worry that something is wrong and I'm backsliding.
Turns out what I thought I saw was wrong. Still a very slow first 2 miles but not abnormal for an easy run for me.
I've not gotten a ton of sleep this week and I have felt fairly worn down. My easy runs have been really slow. I am hoping the last 3 easy days will help and my legs will feel fresh and ready to go tomorrow.
