Today I ran 5 miles in 36:48. The first 1.5 miles I warmed up at 7.5 mph then increased at the one mile mark to 7.6 mph. I did run the last quarter mile of the first mile at 8.1 mph. I then ran two miles at marathon pace, which is (a hoped for) 8.8 mph or 6:48 mile. I also increased the incline to 1% to compensate for it not being on the road. I then finished out the last 1.5 miles at 7.7 mph though I ran the final .15 miles at 10.3 mph.
Though I felt good, I felt a little more tired because yesterday's run was in the later afternoon. I was supposed to have a fitness test, but the person who was supposed to do it cancelled. But I still had to get my run in. So that was only 14 hours before this. Not too bad : )
This evening I do have some soreness in my lower calf, upper achilles tendon area. I will have to watch it closely as that could have a great affect on Saturday.
