Tempo Time

Just stayed in the park this morning and decided on doing a little tempo session, Not one I do very often to be honest (and that’s probably where the problem is), Did a flat loop 3.7ks as a warm up then 2 x flat loops as the tempo. I found it hard to get going to be honest with the legs and in particular the quads sore still from Sunday.
Worked the first lap in 14.23 (average pace 3.54s), and then after a quick recovery drink went again for the second lap conscious of trying to pick the pace up more. Certainly started stronger but just felt the pace drop off around the hillier 3k mark near Fox Gates. Happy enough to cross the finish line averaging 3.48s with a time of 13.57.
A cool down lap then to round the mornings work off and nearly 15ks all done by 8.30am – happy days.
