Notes
Temp 57 (WC 57) Wind 11 mph...gusts had picked up to 23 mph by end of run. Noticed it between 2.5 and 2.75 mile point.
Did not expect this pace at this distance at this Ave. HR for another 2-4 weeks. Hope this is for real and I'm not asking for an injury.
Went out way to fast for 7:30 per mile goal. Tried to slow down, but just felt more comfortable at faster pace. Got a little tired, but felt stong. Wind picking up caused extra focus on form which probably helped.
18:30 (75%) of run at 90%-95% of Max HR. Splits: 7:15 / 7:05 / 7:09 / 3:34.
Will run next Tempo on running trail around lake. Want to mix in some minor elevation challenges to compare against today's performance.
First ever double-digit Long Run scheduled for Sunday. Suppose to rain.
