Today was a lesson in reality vs. intention. I wanted to increase my mileage while keeping my pace as part of the ongoing desire to keep the intensity of my training on an upward trend.
at the 5 mile point of my intended 6.2 mile run I was 8 seconds off target pace so I decided to try upping my pace for the last 1.2 miles and ended up having to stop at 5.7 miles with chronic stitch. Serves me right of course I should have accepted that there are going to be hurdles on progress, but I have never been great at simply accepting reality.
On top of that I am not sure the entire route will be the 6.2 miles (10km) I want to be doing, so I may need to alter it.
5.68 miles in 42:56 speed 7.94mph
