RUN: 10 miles in 1:31 9:06 pace, ave HR 145
The usual Tuesday fartlek run had to be changed to take DH to the airport. I was dressed and ready to go right after getting done with that, but I was on my own with no group.
The high winds over the past few days pulled the temps down from 50's to low 20's. Sunny, but no wind at least. So this was my first really cold run of this season.
The plan was 6 mi with fartleks. I managed 3 intervals in the first 3 miles but then lost interest. I was running in TGP and started planning out a long run. If I run two loops, if I run to 4 or 5 mi and turn back...how did a fartlek run turn in to a long run? And when will a 10 mile run cease to be a "long run"?
I was doing great until about mile 8 or so, at which I really started to wear down. I didn't take a day off (as CP indicated I should!) this holiday weekend and I did run 10 miles just 48hrs ago. Recipe for injury!
Foam rolled and took endurolytes. Whether or not these had any direct improvement on fatigue, hard to say. But I didn't have any of the pretty extreme fatigue and the pain I felt after last Tuesday's 10mile run. (although that was in snow, and that changes my stride).
