I woke up feeling tired but okay, but by mid-morning had a severe sore throat. I managed to run anyways, and am glad I did, but I am not looking forward to tomorrows easy run or workout. It is the workout that will hurt.
According to the training plan, today was a 30 minute Tempo Run. This was my first ever Tempo Run, and based on my calculations I was aiming for an easy paced mile (~10:30ish) followed by 2 miles at Tempo Pace (9:25-9:30) and a few minutes of cool down jogging plus walking. I ended up doing it over lunch, and it was nice and cool and slightly misting. Perfect run weather. Plus since I was going for speed I picked a nice flat route around the seawall and over one of the bridges. (Funny too, I didn’t see any other runners, two weeks ago when it was gross and too hot there were tons of runners out at lunch.)
Laps (miles):
- 10:05 (too fast)
- 9:17 (pretty good)
- 9:06 (definitely too fast)
- 11:44 (only 0.34 miles)
Overall it went well, despite my severe sore throat, it was actually really fun and I was glad I went. I went too fast, of course but all and all I am really looking forward to speedwork. I am also looking forward to other distances, there are only so many 3 mile loops around.
- Distance: 3.34 miles
- Time: 31:59
- Average Pace: 9.43 min/mile
- Avg HR\Max HR: 151/169
- Cals: 325
I am currently finishing off some homemade soup, watching Glee, and then heading to bed early.
