68 degrees felt absolutely perfect this morning. I had to sneak in my run between the Olympic women's 5000m prelims and the men's 10000m final. Tried to start off at decent pace but took a 1/2 mile to actually get going. Hit the first mile in 7:52. Kept my effort steady but the pace continued to pick up on each mile. 7:33 2nd mile, 7:15 for both the 3rd and 4th mile, 7:07 for the last 1.47 miles. HR was in the mid 140s averaging 143 and hitting 147 by the end of the run.
Final stats:
5.47 miles
5.47 miles
40:22
7:23 pace
7:23 pace
My Garmin B.S. VO2 max "fitness score" went from 59 (from yesterdays hot and humid sufferfest) to 61... Wrist based HR instead of strap based but the wrist based one has seemed pretty close lately.
Really pleased with the pace and effort. Tomorrow is supposed to be even cooler so I'm going to try to get a fast 4 miler in if I'm feeling okay. I've been feeling good lately but my legs
