Tuesday I ran my 8 mile loop at an average 6:39 pace. 6:48, 6:42, 6:49, 6:41, 6:50, 6:31, 6:38, 6:20.
The weather was perfect and I felt really good. I started strong and finished stronger. It was the kind of breakthrough workout I had been hoping for and fairly close to being one of my fastest workouts ever (top 5 at least).
Today, after 2 fairly easy days, I did 5 miles at an average 6:49 pace. 6:51, 6:44, 6:55, 7:03, 6:30.
the weather was hotter and more humid and I didn't feel very good. My HR averaged 5 BPM higher (even though I went slower and shorter) and it was pretty much a struggle.
Don't know if it was the heat, fatigue, or maybe a TDAP vaccination I recently received or maybe it just wasn't my day.
Still a good workout I suppose and I'll hopefully just build off it and hit it better next time.
