Better day, because I was able to stay with, and more often slightly ahead of, Virtual Partner for today's tempo run. I finished well ahead of him, so for today I had the last laugh!
2km warm-up
Drills and strides
8km tempo run....VP set to run a 6:32 min/km.
Finished with an average pace of 6:31 min/km!
Time = 52:16
AHR 124 (78%); MHR 131 (82%).
1km splits 6:31; 6:30; 6:35; 6:26; 6:34; 6:31; 6:35; 6:26
Today, as opposed to yesterday's, this pace felt quite comfortable based on my recent 10km time of 63:20, and I had no problem staying with it for 8km. The morning was cool and very overcast; slightly humid but the clouds kept the sun from getting through.....a real blessing!
I used a 3km loop along Radio and Bong Bong Roads. Having just about completely forgotten yesterday's, I was pleased with today's session!
I'm looking forward to reading about today's 24k... after you wake up from your nana nap ;)
