Today’s run was a little disappointing in that I fell back four seconds on average to a pace of 5:17/km. All of the conditions were just a little worse than Wednesday–a little warmer, a little less breeze–but not bad. I started out slower but still at a reasonable pace but fell flat between the 6 and 9K mark, where I could definitely feel myself getting tired.
I pushed on for a solid finish, picking the pace up by 3% but it wasn’t enough to overcome the sluggish middle.
Body-wise I felt fine, with nothing causing any undue discomfort.
On the plus side, I crossed the 2900 km threshold and this marked my ninth consecutive 10K run, which I think is the most I’ve done in a row since 2012.
