Tempo run tonight, 4 miles. When I got out there in the fog, I couldn’t remember whether I was supposed to run all 4 miles at tempo pace, or do a warmup and cooldown mile with 2 tempo miles in the middle. So I did a combo — one warmup mile followed by tempo miles for the rest: 11:25, 10:54, 10:23, 10:42. I walked a half mile at the end as cooldown.
I think my legs are feeling the effects of the increased running I’ve done this week (and will continue to do through the half marathon). They’re sore. They were sore throughout my 4 miles. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s rest day.
Joel and I started running this week so we can start training for April. Man, my legs hurt a lot too and we have just been running 1-2 miles per day.
Sore is good! You keep it up!
