Recovery run turns to speed run

| Well my plan this week was to add a little bit of milage to my long runs and then break them up with a short easy recovery run. Well like I said that was the plan. I started the week with a 6.9 mile run and then yesterday I did my weekly hills (5.25 miles at a PR of 8:02 min/mile), so todayI was supposed to run a short recovery run. However, it seems that short milage sends the message to the brain that its time for speed. I didnt meen to go faster I planned on just taking it easy. I even tried to not look at my watch; however, at the half way point I looked and realized I was running pretty good so I just kept it up. I wasnt hurting I was just cruising. I finished in 25:36 for 3.4 miles a 7:34 min/mile. Not bad pace but may have to work a little harder at a recovery run. But maybe that is what I should do. It wasnt real fast just about 10-20 seconds faster than my normal 5-6 mile time so....Maybe I did it right????? Oh well have a good run and a great day. |
