Longest run to date. 8.51 miles at 8:52 pace to wrap up a hard training week.
I started out on tired legs but at a 8:38 pace. I consciously slowed it down but still hit 8:44 for the 2nd mile. From there the heat and my fatigue started slowing me down. I got a bit slower with each mile until mile 6 was at 9:05 pace. Then slowly sped up hitting 7 in 8:54 and 8 in 8:34.
Spent a lot of the run just focusing on maintaining form and keeping myself upright... some core work wouldn’t hurt!
We’ll see how I feel but probably should dial it back next week to recover so I can push out a couple more hard weeks before my goal 5k in August.
