running tempo (OC Trail 2.5 mile loops) 1:14:24 [5] 7.5 mi (9:55 / mi)
shoes: Hoka Rincon 1 grey
25 min warm up of foam roller, floor leg lifts, a little balancing, lite stretching, standing leg drills and leg/arm bands with reduced reps. Warm today...already mid 70's when I started but felt like 80's with the humidity. My pace felt slow and my legs dead but first mile 10:30 which is fastest first mile I've run, race or workout, for any distance.
I settled into just under 10 min pace that felt much slower and by halfway I was not certain I could run 3 laps without crashing. Well before end of first loop/lap I was on double/triple emergency pace watch. It worked as I'm not sure I could have run 30 seconds faster without a meltdown. I was running step by step trying to stay calm, rational and to not overheat. A slight south wind helped cool me off on the west end of the big loop.
Basically from mile one I was averaging 45 second to a minute faster than it felt like...which is good, versus running that much slower than it felt like.
1st 2.5M loop..... 25:20 .... 25:20 loop time..... 10:08 pace
2nd 2.5M loop ..... 49:49 .... 24:29 loop time ..... 9:48 pace
3rd 2.5M loop...... 1:14:24... 24:35 loop time ..... 9:50 pace
The last loop felt like 11 min pace or slower. This felt like 85 not 75...my heat resistance or tolerance is at a very low point with the cool spring. Looks like Duluth is going from a lot of temps in 50's to 80's and even a 90 predicted...last few springs seems the trend is a wet cool long spring and then right after Memorial weekend the turbo heat blowers are turned on.
Afternoon: occasional balance drills, floor core, reduced reps. Heat has slammed me somewhat. It was only 75 not 90 but I'm fighting one of those heat headaches.
