Notes
75 at the beginning, 85 at the end, and no wind whatsoever. I wish there had been a breeze at least.
10 miles @ 160HR (~8:27 AP), first of the summer. I didn't expect this run to be particularly fast since it's the first one of the base building period. It FELT ok, though, at least through about the 8th hard mile. After that, things fell off precipitously. I don't have any disappointment about it. It did hurt much worse than these should, though. By the end of the last mile, I was back down to a trudge, and I had to walk for a few minutes to even feel like doing the cool-down mile. Even during that, I couldn't really recover. I was just zapped aerobically.
My legs felt great throughout, though. And for most of the run, I felt like I wanted to push the pace. So, as the summer continues I expect this to feel normal again.
