Notes
Just picked up a pair of 1400's and gave them a go. Wanted to do a tempo, really didn't know how my body would react. The 1400's have the feel of the Kinvaras but the fit of the 890's so I liked them much better than the Kinvaras. They irritated the ball of my left foot which is still inflamed although it was mostly during warmup and cool down, most likely due to their being less padding on the forefoot. Left hip maybe felt the best it has yet both during and after run.
Didn't look at my watch at all during tempo as I wanted to run mostly by feel. The first 2.25K were into headwind. Felt relaxed at start but obviously went out too fast as my pace really suffered before the turn around. Maintained in control with the wind at my back but obviously couldn't increase the effort so pace remained relatively stable until the last few hundred meters when I pushed it a bit more. Legs feel tired after but went better than expected considering the wind and I'm still feeling a bit sick. Was definitely very hard pushing my body to continue even though I made sure to never redline.
