A.M. Another rainy morning, lactate threshold workout today and I took a long and easy warmup for 5,5k. Then ran 8k at 1/2 marathon pace 4:00/k or 6:27/mi, along a cycle trail down the valley, finished with an easy 5,5k. I expected to struggle, I'd had a poor nights sleep as after my run yesterday evening I didn't drink properly, I woke up dehydrated in the middle of the night and then couldn't get back to sleep. As it was the legs found their rhythm and it was quite manageable and I enjoyed the run. Total 19k in 1:25:43, av pace 4:31/k, 7:16/mi. |
