longish run today of 11.2, had to make this week's mileage even, kind of an ocd thing. Kind of at the end of this training cycle, i believe i peaked in mid-april at the 5k/10k double in Germany. Ive lacked consistency and my legs have been getting tougher to deal with since then, im on the back side of the peak. Today was about all I had, 11.2 felt like a marathon of sorts. Alas, my game plan now is 2easy cut weeks, maybe 3 max with 5ks at the end of each, then taking a break and resetting myself. As for todays workout, 11.2 was clocked in 1:19:03 which averages to 7:03 per mile. Had 2 that were technically GMP but the wind was so bad today that it really helped on some miles and really slowed on others. For example, there is a 2 mile stretch on this run where I am with the wind and then into the wind 2/2. my splits were even on this portion 6:56.65 and 6:56.68 with the wind, so exactly even paced, then 7:05.31 and 7:05.57 into the wind..perfect mirror opposites..the funny little intricacies of running! ice bath then day off while I travel to Phoenix for work.
