Tempo

Local running track was in use, so abandoned planned intervals session and instead ran a short tempo run back home.

Not wind assisted this time, if anything it was slightly against me! Pretty pleased with pace, felt a bit tired towards end but heart rate stayed nice and steady.

GPS was totally screwy today, putting me several hundred meters from where I actually ran, so distances and paces were totally out and I ran to heart rate. For the tempo section I was running a planned new 4 mile route, and based on split times I managed it at 7:37 overall, pretty sure it was wind assisted though.

Felt pretty tired all week after a busy weekend, so wasn’t sure whether to run this as an easy or tempo run. Decided to head out and see how I felt, managed 7:39 pace before I hit the hills, despite a bit of a headwind. Happy enough with that.
