Tuesday came with better temperatures and finally little to no wind. Ryan offered to accompany me on my 10 miler. It was scheduled as an "easy" run ended up being a bit faster "quality" run. I'm really beginning to appreciate company on these longer runs. I think both Ryan and I were feeling the effects of the faster pace towards the end of the run. A great run in the end.
I was a little sore post run on Tuesday. Likely a combination of the speed work on Monday and then the 10 miles on top of that.
Wednesday's schedule had a 5 miler easy. With the 10 mile at race pace Thursday and then the 20 miler on Friday, I wanted to get those 5 miles in as early as possible to rest as much as I could prior to those tough miles. So, I got up early and went out before sunrise. I could tell that I was undernourished, under-hydrated and still sleepy, but despite all that I got in 5+ miles at a pretty good easy pace.
Tuesday: 10.03 miles. From work, across the bridge and south in Iowa. O&B. 8:19 minute/mile pace with an average heart rate of 158bpm.
Wednesday: 5.23 miles. From home, around neighborhood before dawn. 8:52 minute/mile pace with an average heart rate of 161bpm.
