Week 16

This week I started a little speed run. Thursday I was planning to run 8 miles with 3 miles tempo, but it was rather difficult. I could only managed to run 2 miles @ 7:20. Partially my strategy wasn't right. The beginning run was a little too fast considering I just came back from the recovery not very longer.

I also realized how fitness dropped. I could run this speed for 6 miles before. Of course, this route has some elevation.

mi Pace (min/mi) Elevation (ft)
1 7:48 -128
2 7:53 -24
3 8:03 28
4 7:52 -31
5 7:20 1
6 7:18 41
7 8:21 12

The Sunday long run was rather difficult. I was planning to do 12 miles with 8 MP, but after 2 miles MP, the weather turned terribly windy and cold. The temperature dropped 10C. My armband was broken. I had to hold my smart phone all the way. I forced myself to complete 12 miles with only 2 miles MP. At the end of the run, I was almost unconscious. My mind wasn't that clear.
