This was one of those “you never know what you can do until you try” runs. I haven’t had one of these for a while …. Actually since my Wednesday runs under Tom Schwartz’ training program. A four-mile tempo run at 6:51 seemed rather daunting but I was able to get it done. I even held the mile consistent which is an important element of a good tempo run. It was challenging but do-able. At one point during the run, I reminded myself that I get Friday off as a rest day so there’s no reason not to push it. Under this training cycle, I’m running 5 days a week rather than the 6 days a week that I was running in the prior two cycles. I am hopeful this gives my body better recovery time.
Tomorrow is another easy 5-miler.
