Notes
Tempo run with Oscar on a windy but dry day. Hurt my calf on last tempo run and race on Sunday so the plan was for a steady run. Tell that to Oscar !!! To make sure I didn't go out too fast he decided to pace the first 2 miles and actually took it out a bit too fast. at half way we were at 6.33/mile pace which is moving... I tood up the pacing for the second half and felt good. Struggled to get my rhythm in the first half but got into my running on the 2nd lap. Not long into the 2nd lap Oscar started paying for pushing on the 1st lap. He was breathing hard and dropped a meter or two a few times. each time he pulled back. For the last 3/4 lap we focused on keeping the pace steady although we knew we were slower than the first lap. Prob good for me not to go too hard as I have a race on Sunday but we could have dipped under 4min/km if we kept the pace up. Oscar dug deep and we finished strong enough for a solid tempo. Shows how going out too fast can hurt but lookuing at stats a good tempo and good speed there. I can feel speed in the legs - only concern today is the high HR. Finished comfortably with plenty left in the tank so delighted with that !
