23M double; recovery run & medium-long tempo run
7M am recovery run at ~6.30min/M
16M pm incl 13M tempo miles 2-11 at 5.32min/M
I felt less good today then recently. By which I guess I just mean that I ran slower despite pushing hard.
I ran the first mile of my evening run at about 6min mile pace and then settled into a fairly comfortable cruise at around 5.30min pace along the river from work to Battersea. Recently, I would have expected to have been able to pick that up a bit in the latter half of the run, but today for some reason it was all I could do to keep the pace steady. The final mile of the tempo segment was up hill and interrupted by road crossings etc, so I didn't time it - just ran hard.
I'm not sure why I wasn't quite there today. I guess I have had a hard few days: hard runs and teo lots of core work which always leaves me heavy legged. We've also had a good deal on at home and not the most sleep. Plus I had a good portion of cake mid-afternoon and probably the biggest factor in my harder going in the second half was abdominal pain from gripy guts.
Anyway, I put in a good effort and a decent chunk of miles, so I should be happy!
