50 days of running - day 43
Ran a 10K as a test of how my run fitness is coming along during this cycle and it went well. I knew going into the race it would be tough to get close to 32:30 min cuz all the running I've been doing and my legs were a bit tired but still I managed to push hard and it felt good. I used my polar pod to record distance, pace and splits but I didn't look at it and just went by feel. I think I subconsciously ran a bit easier the 1st half cuz I didn’t know what to expect. as soon as I completed the 1st lap I could feel I had a lot more so I pick up the pace but mile 4 we had some head wind. As soon as I turn back I could feel I was running faster. At that point I took a pick at my watch and saw I was holding 5:10 pace and felt right. Anyway, I ended up negative splitting the 2nd half due to my uncertainty about what pace I could hold heading into the race, but that's why we test! :)
I finished 3rd Overall like 30-40 seconds behind Tim Snow.
I think I can hold a 5:15 min/mile pace with rested legs which is encouraging cuz I haven't start doing much real LT sessions as the run cycle is been more about volume.

E pace run
50 days of running - day 44
WU: 200EZ, 200IM
TR: 4x50 1 arm drill, 200 swim with band, 200 paddles
MS: 5x200 on 2:40 - R:15
CD: 200EZ
UNLOAD DAY # 2 - 2200 yds swim + 30 min easy run for today
ok swim, slowish times (avg for 200s was 2:42min) due to drag suit. Also the swim with band around feet really makes you workout on your stroke and your back muscles get a killer but fatiguing session.
Ok run, legs still stiff and sore but it feel good to run.
