Four

Four miles. Plus a 0.1 speed challenge. Even though I already did four sprint segments.

Stats:

  • 4.1 mi
  • 49:28
  • Fastest pace 4:30 during last 0.1 mile
    • Also the fastest for the run!
  • Average pace for the last 0.1 mile: 7:02
  • The big downhill:
    • 0.09 miles
    • 0:35 time
    • 6:38 pace
  • The second big downhill:
    • 0.08 miles
    • 0:29.5 time
    • 6:06 pace

I slept decently last night, so my body battery wasn’t stuck at 5 like it was on Friday. It’s now at 20, with my workout impact of -22. My 965 estimates I lost almost 0.9 liters of fluid. Good thing I’m about to replace it.

Here’s I pic I snapped mid-run:

A Different Route

Similar distance. But no comparing, because the route differences made it harder to keep my pace up: it was substantially darker, so I couldn’t see my path well enough to go faster at times. Also, I had my phone weighing me down, and I didn’t try as hard to go fast going downhill.

Stats:

  • 3.12 mi
  • 35:46
  • Fastest pace 5:01 during last 0.12 miles
  • Average pace for the last 0.12 miles: 6:32

My “Body Battery” according to my 965 is at 5 now, down from 79 this morning (with a max of 100 possible). My watch tells me it was a demanding day, and that I should focus on rest and recovery for the remainder of the day.

Recovery

Today (6/18) I went on my first run since my most recent accident. I only made it 0.7 miles before I had to slow my pace drastically because of the pain in my hip. I did manage to make it a full 3.12 miles.  It looks like my goal of running a half marathon sometime this fall is in danger.  I’m not worried though.  I’ll do what it takes to recover, then focus on training for a half.
