I HATE TEMPO RUNS. I don't know why these are so hard for me. I don't know if it is all in my head.
I ran a warm up mile in 9:43. Just took it easy. Then started my tempo
8:13, 8:19, and 8:18. Yes, these look good, but I had to stop after each mile to get through it. I don't know why I struggle with this so bad. I am wondering if it would be better just to stay around 8:45 and try and work down......I don't know.
Cool down mile 9:50 (I had to walk for a little while after the last mile). My last mile of the tempo run has a really large hill and it killed me by the time I got to the top. |
