Notes
Wanted to run a couple of long intervals to prepare for the upcoming 4 miler. Ended up running them faster than I thought, somehow. Was aiming for 8:00-8:15 pace, and ran faster than that by a fair margin.
It was clear and cool, and I felt pretty good throughout. The second interval definitely felt harder than the first, and I had to give a fair amount of kick the final half mile to even finish 30 seconds slower than the first set.
Could not have maintained the pace I was at beyond....5 miles maybe? Maybe not even that. Was tired at the halfway point, but recovered well during my break. Probably overtrained and should have been more disciplined and slowed myself down to my originally intended pace, but I just wanted to go with the flow. The weather helped contribute to that, I think. Beautiful!
