Wednesday's five mile was medium effort, and I flew like the wind - the first two miles were just over 10 minutes a mile but then I did 9.46, 9.28, and for the final mile 8.48 minutes a mile. I just kept slowly upping the pace visioning I was running like Gwen Jorgensen, the seemingly unstoppable women's Triathlete who is dominating the World Series Triathlon this year.
And the pace felt comfortable!
Thursday I think I paid the price for Wednesday's run, and the five miles I struggled with both physically and mentally - I just could not push the pace and all the miles were around ten minute a mile.
Saturday will be a comfortable six mile run and Sunday is my 20 mile unstructured run around all the local fields. Plus point is that I will be close to home for all of it.
Gwen Jorgensen who no doubt could walk faster than I could run but was my inspiration on Wednesday's speedy run.
