On my training plan for today was just an easy three mile run. The pace set by my plan was 10.44 min mile but I simply couldn't run this slow. As much as I tried, every time I looked at my watch it was showing between 9 and 9.5 minute mile pace and, quite often, under a nine minute mile pace (at one point I looked at it was well under an eight minute mile pace so I really had to rein it in there).
In the end, my overall pace was 9.32 so I did manage to slow it down a bit but I was still doing over a minute per mile quicker than I was supposed to.
I'll have to try harder to keep it slow next time. Perhaps if I run up some hills that will help, then my pace will be way slower than 10.44 minute mile but that's OK - apparently an easy run can never be too slow!
Total distance - 3 miles
