Tonight was a speed work session. I started with the usual mile warm up at 10:40ish pace. I then did 8 x 400 metres (.25 miles) at very fast 8:00ish pace with 200 metre (.12 miles) recoveries. That followed with the mile cool down at 10:40ish again.
I felt good tonight despite feeling very tired when I left work. Since we got back from Norway I just do not feel rested. Even at the weekend I was rather tired. But thankfully the run tonight wasn’t nearly as difficult as I’d thought. Especially since I was expecting the previous speed work pace of 8:26-8:46 and was a bit shocked when 7:47-8:07 flashed up on my Garmin. Tomorrow is a slow run which I’ve decided to do from work to home instead of coming home and then going out. It’s a new route that goes through the nice little villagey place of Claygate nearby. I’ll post a map tomorrow evening.
