Pushups & Planks
Todays workout did not go exactly as I had hoped but with that said it was still a great effort and I am not too dissapointed. I wanted a 10 mile MP tempo progression run starting at 7:30 and gradually making my way towards 7:00. 1 mile warmup and then straight into the workout 7:24, 7:22, 7:26, 7:07, 7:07, 7:05, 7:17 7:05, 7:11, 7:04. Now that I actually look at the splits it wasn't all that bad and I felt pretty good and controlled except the last mile that was into a headwind and I felt like I was pushing a bit to hit that pace. Completely unaided route with only a few gradual uphill/downhill sections.
After today I feel more confident that I am capable of holding a 7:24 pace (3:15) for the duration of a marathon.
PM: 2 miles nice and easy. Legs feel suprising good considering the tempo from this morning. |
