Notes
Decent midweek MLR despite the warmer temps and higher humidity. Supposed to be a progression run with the last 5 at moderate pace, and thing were going as planned until I got to the turnaround point and the last 5 miles, when I jumped from 7:55 pace to 7:27 pace in one mile (BAD WALTER). Ran the next 3 in 7:15/7:20/7:09 before purposely slowing down in the last 2 miles (7:54, 7:50). Heart rate was too high throughout--I struggled to stay below 75% of max when running 8:30-8:45 pace, and I was at about 84% of max when running low 7:00s, demonstrating all too well why I should never race when it's above 70 degrees.
