5 Mile Tempo Run – Too Hot and too Tired!
Posted on Aug 08, 2009 under 5 miles, Tempo Runs | No CommentAttempted a 5 mile tempo run, but got it a bit wrong and it was very very hot and sunny, so I did the first 2 k’s rather too fast and although I maintained it for a while I was on the verge of blowing up at 6k and my heart was really hammering even when I slowed, so just took the last couple of k’s as a cool down.
This will have been my highest mileage week for some time, with a 10 miler and some hard intervals for the first time recently, so have to take into account I may just need a bit of recovery and on reflection an easy run may have been a better idea, with possibly a tempo tomorrow or Monday. May rest tomorrow or do very easy run, will see!
