Today I went back to the usual starting point in Deephaven. I had a bit of a later start than I had hoped, around 10:20am. It was sunny and about 52 when I started, and it warmed up pretty quickly.
The run called for 5 minutes running and 3 minutes walking for two hours. Here are the splits:
1 - 7:14/mile
2 - 7:07
3 - 7:10
4 - 7:06
5 - 7:06
6 - 7:04
7 - 7:09
8 - 7:15
9 - 7:30
10 - 7:20
11 - 7:24
12 - 7:24
13 - 7:14
14 - 7:30
15 - 7:50
Total mileage including walking: 12.59 miles, 2:02:37, avg pace 9:44, calories burned: 1795
As the times indicate, I started off strong and slowed down about halfway through. I took a water and gel break between the 8th and 9th running reps. It was warming up and I took off my long-sleeved shirt to go with short sleeves. Seemed like I had to work extremely hard and focus intensely to get into the 7:20 range. On the very last rep, I was completely exhausted and really feeling the heat.
I think I said this last week as well, but I need to get out there earlier to have more favorable weather. I'm not blaming the temperatures, but it is getting warmer and I'm not used to the heat this early in the year.
