Time 1:08:51 Avg pace 6:47 Avg HR 157 Peak HR 174 I ran around Liberty Park today because I was looking for someplace flat that didn't have stop lights for my tempo run. My plan was to hold the tempo pace for 8-9 miles. But, that was just not in the cards today. I pulled the plug after only 6 miles at pace. I'm sure some of the problem was that I was just not prepared mentally for a that hard of a run, and some of it may be the fatigue from the higher millage that I have been running recently. In either case I am disappointed to not get to at least 8 miles. splits, HR 1-7:01, 148 Warmup 2-6:12, 164 Tempo start 3-6:18, 168 4-6:16, 168 5-6:14, 168 6-6:24, 168 this is a problem 7-6:17, 173 8-7:30, 145 recovery run 9-7:38, 145 10-7:56, 139 .13-7:50,139 Looking at it now I can see that I carried the same effort though the 6th split, but my fitness level started to slow me down. The following mile was significantly more taxing as shown by the elevated HR, but I should have been able to do another 2 miles. GRRRR! |
