Have you ever had one of those days where you didn't think you could make yourself tired? Well today was one of those days for me. The long run started out great. Everything was clicking and I was thinking to myself that I was going out way too fast. The amazing thing was that I didn't seem to be feeling too bad even though I kept holding an 8:00/mile pace. My usual average pace for my long runs is around 8:30ish so I figured I was going to lose it sooner or later. My legs finally started to feel the fatigue around mile 15 and it was starting to get cold so I wrapped it up at 17 miles. Ended up doing my run in the afternoon today since I went up camping with the scouts last night and didn't get home until past midnight Saturday morning. A good ending to another strong week of training.
Time: 8:06/mile |
