9/8 Tempo Run

An evening run on Tempo Tuesday. On the road ~9:30. Weather was nice and pleasant, low 60s.

I'm planning in just rerunning last week, without the shin pain and long run bonk I hope. :)

Actually hit 49 bpm for a sample period standing at the light waiting to start. So much for being HR elevated in the evenings. :)

Run was really good despite some mild fears it wouldn't be. Almost identical to last weeks run as far as total time, even with a more controlled cooldown mile. Paces were more consistent as well.

The cooldown mile was more painful than the fast running. Downhill really aggravated my shins, and the slower pace seemed to let me cool down and get achy and sore. A bit frustrating.

6.17 miles in 51:52 (8:19/mile) @ 158 bpm avg
