Hello all,
Sorry about posting this so late, but it was a busy weekend at the house. Last Thursday (23/Apr/09) was my 4th recovery run. I was planning on running 6 miles (2 miles further than the day before) and trying to run at a "Tempo" pace (30 seconds under my target MP). I hit the track at 5:30am. I started out at a pretty good clip. My first mile was 35 seconds under my tempo pace and I was feeling good so I kept going. After the first 3 miles I took a quick bathroom break. My average was 34 seconds under my tempo pace (over a minute under my target MP)!!! When i got back up to the track (roughly 2 minutes), I could not get back into a good groove. My fist mile was 13 seconds under my tempo pace and the next 2 were closer to my target MP. The average for the second 3 miles was 15 seconds over my tempo pace. I was very happy with my overall average though of 45 seconds under my target MP, especially since I am still in the recovery phase.
Friday was a rest day and Saturday was to be my last long run and the longest run I had done in 4 weeks due to injuries. That blog later on today.
In Him,
Philippians 4:13
