Notes
Temp 44 Winds calm. Foggy...felt warmer.
Woke up with stiff neck and sore trap and pec on left side. Gallblatter been barking for several days now. Did not feel loose after stretch. When all else is wrong, Run numbers seem to always come out good.
Goal of 3.5 mile Tempo Run at 7:00-7:15 pace. Wanting to work on learning to do as progression run by feel in preparation of working Tempo Run up to 5 miles. Rule of maximum of three looks at Garmin.
1st mile @ 7:34. OK. Next mile has been the problem. Instead of speeding up :15 sec per mile, tend to go up :30. Did that here with 2nd mile @ 6:59. Went ahead and broke off lake loop to climb a hill in 3rd mile. Brought that in @ 7:03. OK. Last .56 @ 6:42 pace. OK. Did not feel like I was pushing it until last 3/4 mile. At that point changed focus to form.
Last week's Tempo same distance, same pace, but on track. This one had some hills. Ave. HR down 6 bpm.
