The plan for this morning was a one mile warm up followed by three miles at race pace then a mile cool down.
It wasn't until I got home that I realised how badly I had done. I felt like I was zooming along on the three miles because I was feeling really sick and running as hard as I could, but looking at my Strava stats, it was REALLY slow! All three miles were over a nine minute mile pace! That's way off my race pace and I can't understand why as I didn't feel like I was running that slowly. I know it was on mildly undulating trails rather than roads but so are the vast majority of my races which I do much faster than this (around 7.50 minute mile pace)!
Perhaps it's because I hadn't eaten anything before I went out which I don't normally do as I usually feel too light headed to run on an empty stomach?
Who knows, all I know is that I'm not rite impressed. Can't even blame Ruby because I left her at home. Off to sulk now.
Total distance - 5.1 miles
