AM: 16.14 miles: Did 7 miles at about 6:55 pace then straight into 2 x 2 mile in 10:47, 10:50 w/mile recovery jog (7:25) in between. I then went straight back into 4 + miles at 6:40sh pace to finish. I'm pretty happy with this run. I knew the pickups would be tough given how the effort felt at 5:35 pace on Thursday. The pickups ended up feeling pretty good though although the last mile of the second one was tough. I felt good and tired at the end of the run but not dead like I thought I may feel with the humidity. The last four miles I still felt strong. Now it's time to relax and watch the Olympics! Avg 6:28 for the whole run. PM: 4 miles 7:43 pace on the treadmill. Testing out a double on long run day. I hope it helps. |
