Last time I went out for a ten mile run, I was setting records all over the place. Of course, that run came after a rest week, so it would make sense that I was flying. Additionally, the weather was pretty much perfect (temps in the low teens). Today, not so much.
The last "build" block has definitely done some work to the legs. I could feel it yesterday, and I could feel it this morning. It was also warm and muggy, so conditions were tough. I had soaked through my shirt by the 3 mile mark. I have no idea how the Olympic marathoners were cranking out the pace last night (this morning). I could tell I was sluggish on a much shorter run. I have no idea how bad I'd get hit over 26.2 miles. Still, I got two solid laps in, with the second being my second fastest loop of the year. So, no complaints there.
Now I can rest up for next weekend, while keeping an eye on Ironman Canada. Good luck to Richard and Josie. Do Lane Three proud!
Run: 10.5 miles, 41:57/40:26 + 4 strides
