Notes
Wanted to get a workout in today but not excited about the weather. It was hot and sunny although the sun did hide behind the clouds for a few minutes during the run. There was also some shade along the way. Dew point was around 14 so not terribly sticky. Goal was to run by feel and hopefully hit around 4:20 or faster without dying. There was a pretty strong northwest wind, mostly from the north that was in my face from 2-2.5K. Rest of the time felt like a cross breeze which did keep me cooled down a bit. Felt pretty relaxed up until the turnaround but then I had to start working by 3K. By 4K legs were tiring and I was just focused on maintaining pace. Breathing became a bit accelerated and I felt like I was getting close to my limit. Despite this still finished the last 400m in 1:35 (3:58 pace) without totally entering the red zone. Quite pleased with results considering the conditions and lack of hard efforts lately.
