I ran to school again this morning. 8.6 miles in 1:02:53. I kept the pace easy, but I plan on doing some speed work on the way home. Either 2 x 3 miles or a single 6 mile tempo. Hopefully the wind doesn't pick up this evening. The wind has been pretty mild this week, so I hope it stays that way this evening as well. PM: I ran home from school. I decided to run 2 x 3 miles hard on the way home because it was windy, and I was hoping for better wind if I had a break before starting the second three miles (ended up being true). First 3 miles in 16:16 with a mild headwind for the first mile, and then a stronger wind for the last 2 miles (not terrible wind, but still not easy). Second 3 miles in 16:03. The second 3 mile section was the same section I ran 3 miles hard at on Saturday. I had a stronger wind for the first 1:05 (again, same as Saturday) and then had a lighter headwind for the rest of it. I could have run the second 3 miles faster, but I didn't push the first mile very hard because my legs were feeling tired, but I sped up the last 2 miles. Total time for 8.6 miles was 51:51. |
