Really tired track run

RUN total 6 miles in 1:06 but when I really do the math more like 4.25 miles
BIKE COMMUTE 13.8 miles

Woke up OK, tired ride to the track, walked a loop and ran a loop before BE got there. We did his idea for the run: 3x 600 (200 walks), 4x400 (200), and 5x200 (200). Lots of walking, that's how my distance goes from 6 to 4.25. I think we got 14 200s in? Whatevs.

I felt Ok for all the soreness and fatigue, but my HR shot up fast in the intervals even though I wasn't running fast. Well, let me look at the Garmin track...OOOOH SHIT. I was going faster than expected!

600s in about 7:40 range
400s in 7:20 m/m range
200s in 7 m/m!!

DA FUQ!!!! I'm honestly surprised here. Is this a Garmin error?! I ask that because the garmin was also reading HR in the upwards of 190-200 in these intervals. That's awfully high, and I wasn't breathing all that hard and running all that fast, or so I thought.

JFC. I thought the Garmin was misreading the HR, but maybe not? My HR fell fast once we walked, down to 100 be the end of the walk interval. But I BE was definitely (and rightfully) concerned and wanted to cut the 600s off and walk more. But I pushed for all of it. Gimme gimme gimme. I need people like BE to cut me off, so I appreciate it.

WOW. Cadence was high 170s for this. So I was moving fast. Just didn't feel it, especially as he dropped me once the interval started. We didn't change direction on the track, that throws the numbers off. I wasn't pushing for this, and I wasn't watching the pace as I ran.

I was going to change the batter in the Garmin for tomorrow, but.....it might have been right? I haven't run that fast since last August. Good? Or bad?

Well shit.

I was going to do this as a rest week, but in looking at my schedule I might run 45 this week and rest the next. To settle into a schedule to taper/rest into Dark2Dawn. See how I feel.  But I'm thinking 10 miles tomorrow. Slow 10. Not like today.
