Tempo day yesterday. As usual, the tempo run was a hard workout. I did 3 km easy, followed by 5 km at around a 5:10/km tempo pace. The tempo part was a real struggle, it was an out and back and the first half had a slight climb and headwind. The second half should have been easier, but I was thrashed from the earlier part. I did about 3 km on the way back at a 5:25/km pace to get a feeling for whether I could run that pace when I'm tired. I actually wanted to do 5:40 on the last 3, but just can't seem to get myself to that pace. The total run was a bit over 12 km.
It finally warmed up here, 21 degrees C yesterday! I was able to do my first run of the year in shorts and a t-shirt.
I'm scheduled for 5 km easy today, which I can hopefully do after work before big-time carbo-loading.
