.Today needed to be a tempo day due to starting another work week on Thursday and needing to move up my long run to Friday. I can't wait for June to roll around when I will only have to work one weekend a month in addition to other weekdays. Come on June! Today's workout was just okay. I felt much more tired than usual. I'm usually more of a slacker on the weekends with my diet and sleep. Saturday's long run wore me out too. It didn't help that I stayed up late playing Words with Friends with Burt. He's such a cheater. 4 mile wu 4 mile tempo @ 6:46, 6:44, 6;40, 6:30 ( 60 sec. water stop after first mile) 1 mile cd HRmax @ <95% (98 bpm@ 30secs) My HR indicates my fatigue pretty accurately. I should start wearing my monitor again to dictate my workouts/paces. My max usually sits on the high end for women my age. In college I was maxing at 215 when it should have been around 195. Maybe I'll be one of those people who collapses at a marathon finish line from a heart attack. Hopefully that's the case when I'm 99. |
