Run: Tempo Previous Next

Notes

Today was brutal! It felt tough the minute I left the house, and it never got easier. Very humid -- shoes were squishy during my cool down run. 9 mile Tempo, but only able to keep a 6:59 avg pace. 2 mile w/u, 2 mile c/d.

A few factors may account for my complete exhaustion during (and hours AFTER) this run: a) I ran my Long Run on Sunday as a progression, 17.5 miles with 5 miles near the end at close to MP; b) I ran the Tuesday Strength Intervals at a good effort -- 6:4x pace for 4 x 1.5 mi; c) I ran 6 miles yesterday (Thurs), which was the scheduled Tempo run day, but no time for it in the morning. Yesterday was hot and humid when I ran, and I ran at 7:45-ish pace; and d) today was very humid. Sooo, I am completely wiped out, at my desk, waiting for some energy to kick in ...
