I am continuing with the theme of "how will this workout go?" Tuesday: bike=bad, run=good; Wednesday: run=good, swim=very good. What would that mean for today's run? It's not like this was going to be just a pleasure cruise, so if things went south, I'd be shot off the treadmill into the wall.
I didn't hit the wall (figuratively or literally). The crux of tonight's session was 4 miles at 9.0 mph, the longest and fastest I've done any sustained run. I'm actually quite surprised with how the effort went, since I wasn't completely on the rivet the whole time. In fact, I was able to go to a 4-4 breathing pattern for a while, even in the last mile. When I finished, I was tired, but not completely strung out. That's a good day as far as I'm concerned.
Run: 7 miles, as 2 miles @ 7.4 mph, 4 miles @ 9.0 mph, 1 mile @ 7.4 mph + 4 strides
