My first disappointing run for this training schedule. It had to happen sooner or later!

Today’s goal was to do 7 miles at an 11:30 pace. My body felt tired and sleep deprived. My legs felt tired and completely zapped of energy. But I wanted to give it a go anyway. I’m glad I got the mileage in, but sad that I really couldn’t get it in the time I wanted.

Split 1: 11:31
Split 2: 11:46
Split 3: 11:42
Split 4: 11:56
Split 5: 12:42
Split 6: 13:53
Split 7: 12:15

Total Time: 1:26:00
Average Pace: 12:17 - booo =(
Total Calories Burned: 844
Shoes: Asics Nimbus

Quite a dismal run. I’m thinking of cutting out either this week’s speedwork or tempo run or maybe both, depending on whether or not my legs start to feel normal again. I want to be fresh for my 8 miler on Sunday… and hopefully avenge this week’s long run. My goal is to get that run in under 1:32:00. I definitely have my work cut out for me!
