South EUG "tempo" 8s

May 10, 2012 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Felt down all afternoon -- think it was the allergies (some gut rot, sore throat); but also a very busy day at work!

Thought about a 5K OTC run at Alton, but I didn't get out of work in time. So I ran solo, down to Rexius for some repeat 8s. Wore the green M101s to focus on foot strike. Didn't feel great on the concrete, but it kept me on the 1st MTP pretty well.

Ran to the start of Rexius, did x4 strides (had gut rot, needed to poop but didn't), then went. UNTIMED but timed: split 'em but didn't look. Glad I didn't! They felt strong; focused on strong R LE drive and mobility of pelvis, as well as foot strike. Felt pretty strong, but too easy. There was a reason: "averaged" 2:50 pace! Slow, even for the bark-uh-mulch. Did 5:

2:49, 2:53, 2:48, 2:49, 2:53.

Cool down was the run back to the car. Ran into Britten at 30th, so I ran with her back to my car. Feet were sore on the concrete.

Shin/tendon was FINE and only mildly sore on the tempo. Moderately sore on the last 1-2mi of the run; getting better!!!

Went to "Level Up" with Jeff afterward! :)
