Today's run was suppose to be at marathon pace according to the Prez who will now be refered to as RC (running coach). Alas, I started my run too fast so I made the choice to ensure a negative split rather than slow down to a marathon pace and finish. (It was also 9:45 at night and I wanted to come home). So I did a 5K. It's not my best but it's better than my normal training runs. Average pace 10:13. Average HR 158. Compare that to 4 weeks ago...wow! what an improvement. Isn't it amazing what a little bit of consistency will do? I'm so proud of tonights run I'm going bore you with a chart of my splits....
BTW, my legs felt like cement when I started but did lighten up a bit during the run. I'm still tight from Sunday's long run. |
