My tempo pace continues to elude me. Today’s goal was to run 4 mile at 11:45/min mile. My muscles were still extremely sore from yesterday’s strength training. Hopefully, they will have eased back to normal by the time I have to do my long run on Sunday or Monday.
Split 1: 11:30
Split 2: 12:13
Split 3: 12:44
Split 4: 13:20
Total milage: 4.12 (including cool down – no warm up =/ )
Calories Burned: 489
Shoes: Asics Nimbus
By the time I hit my 4th mile, my legs were as heavy as lead. I was so tired I figured I might as well call it quits for the night. So, I started walking. But after 3 minutes of walking, I decided… NO! I will not quit! So, I started to run again. I figured, even if I didn’t finish in the time I wanted to, at least I ran the full 4 miles, right? So there ya go. A 13:20 mile in the end. The last training session, I would have been really happy with that time, but this time around I’m just so-so. It’s definitely far from my tempo pace goal. But it’s something I’ll just have to keep on working on =)
