Afternoon river run
Posted on 06. Apr, 2008 by Brad in Gear, Training
I wanted to get in another 6-8 miles this afternoon to help prepare for this Saturday’s 25K at Lake McMurty but I ended up just logging 4 miles. I’m having a bit of a seam issue with the Under Armor tights I’m wearing underneath my shorts. So about half way through the run, I realized I should probably just go for 4, turned around, and attempted a negative split.
I definitely sped up over the second half of the run but didn’t quite hit the pace target of 10:00/m I wanted. I’m guessing that I went slightly long on the mileage. No worries though, as I came in just a few seconds per mile off pace.
The new shoes are working well but I wonder what the cushioning will feel like after 15+ miles. They feel stiff on my feet and I have decided against this model in the past. So far so good though so I’ll be evaluating them closely this coming weekend.
