Yesterday I finally got outside. 4 miles on the treadmill then 5 outside. I ran relatively easy but was still a little disappointed with the 8:07 pace. Hopefully a week or two of consistently outside running will get me back in the groove. Of course it's snowing and freezing again today so I'm still a week or two away from truly starting the transition back to outdoor running.
This morning I felt fairly fatigued again. I've actually felt pretty good the last few days but today the motivation was lacking. I wound up doing 7.02 miles at 7:46 pace. Quite a bit of running was at 7:30 pace and I did 3 sets of 4 minutes at 7:30 pace with 6 degree incline. This kicked my ass more than I would have liked. It just plain hurt and not really in a good way. Mostly in my gut, kind of like I was sick. I did 3 minutes at 9.8 mph near the end of the workout and that felt a lot easier. Maybe just too much easy treadmill running and I need to get used to higher intensity again or maybe too much easy treadmill running and I need some recovery.
Need some rest tonight and an easy day tomorrow heading into the weekend. At 33 miles so far this week with a goal to hit 60 again.
