Notes
On the schedule I had 14 at MP with miles 7 and 14 at tempo. After having the glute issue this week just decided to try for 14 at MP today and scratch the tempo miles.
Didn't feel super great on the WU but thought once I got rolling things would get better. Unfortunately things never really did as I started the MP miles. The first half was slightly uphill and into the wind and I thought once I turned around it would get easier. Kinda did get easier, but I did a bad job managing effort and ended up running a 5:10 and 5:12 mile in there which I think was a lil too much for the way I was feeling today. Dialed it back a bit and was feeling okay for the next few miles, but right after the 11 mile split my glutes were starting to feel a bit fried so rather than push too hard to finish out the 14 I just stopped it at 11.5.
Still got in 11.5 at 5:15 pace and I'll take that with how awful I felt today and the glute problems the past week. Glute felt generally good today which is another encouraging sign
