Notes
40' Steady Tempo
Recruited Somerfield and Frintner to come out and give me some company for the tempo. We met up at Busse after I got out of work. It was a warm and humid one out there. Came in with the same goal as last week, around 5:45 average while not going out too hard. Felt good and loose after the wu. First few miles came pretty easily. Made an effort to stay mentally engaged with all the turns. Around 10', I could hear Frintner huffing and puffing. Tried to get him to lead some, but he fell off not too long after. Ryan and I rolled along together for a while. We were never quite in sync, one of us was always feeling good, then falling a half step back. About 25', Ryan started laboring. He made it to 5 miles then let me go. Tried to find a good rhythm to finish strong. Last mile was a bit of a grind, I kept checking my watch every 20-30". Probably should have finished it out to 7 miles, but didn't want to run up the hill for the last 20 seconds lol. Tired and sweaty afterwards. Mentally, this was tough with the heat, but happy with how I grinded it out and ran consistent.
Some stretching afterwards
