Notes
Headed out this evening for this week's tempo, which went really well. It was again the longest that I've done yet this year (and maybe ever..?), and the pace was as strong as ever. I did a total of 9.2 miles in 50:23, averaging 5:29s for the full tempo.
I could definitely still feel the effects of Sunday's long run, as my legs weren't as fresh as they were feeling last week and the pace wasn't nearly as smooth, but nevertheless, this was a relatively comfortable run. I also noted that the first 1.25 was done at 5:18 pace, which probably came back to hurt me toward the end - though this opening stretch also included the big downhill on Florissant, so I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt... After that, though, I think the run was fairly even and consistent.
