On Monday I hesitated between taking a day off or just keeping it as an easy day. Due to democratic reasons I had a chance to run home from a lake nearby so I chose an easy day. The run was actually a nice 5 miler in warm evening weather with an increasing pain in the butt/hamstring. The latter caused a chance in plans for Tuesday: instead of running anything I biked 30 miles (it was warm, 82-84F).
Today I ran the steady state 7 miler already early in the morning (6:15 AM is early in Finnish terms) and hamstring was okay. Pace was totally moderated by HRM and it was barely under 6.20s. I'm ok with that.
My body/engine is regenerating itself piece by piece. Even if I did too long and partly too fast run on Monday, I was able to control today's tempo (6.1 miles @ steady state, hrm controlled, with 2k accleration in the end) quite well: 36:47 (18:32/18:15). In reality this particular workout barely saves me but I know that it could be worse!
Then during the CD I wondered that did Brian Sell used to listen to Mustach while he ran? Mustasch's singer has serious handlebars!
Workout Wednesday. Nice. I was going to run tempo already in the morning, but since I was watching a really bad bad dream (I was choking under a huge pile of snow) just before waking up, I decided to postpone the workout to the evening.
The plan was to duplicate the tempo workout which I used to do couple times on treadmill before I was ill. Today's 5-miler went pretty well (@5:53) since I ran it 1.5 minutes faster than earlier (my bad, too fast). The plan was to keep the pace around 6:00 but I just felt so ok.
