Towpath Tempo

September 5, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Did a 6 mile tempo on the Towpath. We don't know if the 3 mile mark Barnes was at was accurate. If it was, then that means we ran like about a 10K and our pace was 5:32, which seems suspiciously fast. If the whole thing was 6 miles then we would have averaged 5:46 pace, which makes more sense. I guess I felt okay for the first half, still a bit sore and broken down from Sudeck, and the slippery gravel didn't really help either. The last mile or so I was struggling. I was breathing pretty hard, and my quads were like on fire. This is usually what I feel when I am burning out, but it is really not plausible at all that I am burning out because I haven't had high mileage during the summer, and I don't think I would have been able to keep up if I was. My heart rate was like 180 at the end. I think I need to get more rest, and eat better, and hydrate better. Hopefully I will feel better in the next few weeks.
