Took it easy today in preparation for 6 x 800 tomorrow. Thought about going an extra mile or two but changed my mind due to the fact that this a cut back week and the two weeks following this week are going to be fairly demanding with long runs of 19 and 20 miles. So I will make this a true cutback week in order to hopefully benefit from a bit of recovery, although the mileage difference is only 3 miles less with a 12 mile long run on Saturday. Added a few strides today during the last mile just for fun. Hot and muggy again today.
Time: 8:33/mile |
