Week 7 Day 2

Today's plan is 8 miles with 4 miles Lactate Threshold (LT) run. However, I couldn't finish the plan. I still haven't recovered from the Sunday's race.

I was planning to do 3 mile easy run, then 7 minute pace for my LT run, but after 3 mile easy run, I could only do the LT for one mile at 7:00, then drop to 7:30, then 8:00. At mile 6, I felt my right back a little hurt, my calves were tired and couldn't absorb the pounding well, my left knee was a little hurting as well, so I reduced speed again and carried on for a mile. Finally I gave up the last mile to save myself to get injured.

It was really a tough training.
