Not a great day of running, my lungs we not cooperating today, and my legs were quite tired..no doubt from jumping right back into training after three weeks off. Got the speeds I wanted, but couldn't hold if for long enouhg. Tempos are supposed to increase my muscles ability to run at a fast pace for a longer period of time...but I felt like I was just working on my lungs....not good. I think next time I will run my long run indoors, and do my tempo on a flat course outside...see hwo that does me.....still thinking the treadmill equivelent sheet I am using is setting the speed to high.
