After a disappointing workout Friday I needed a good bounce back today and I got it. Three weeks ago I had the same @mcmillanrunning #10K “fitness check” as today on the schedule. I did that run and also got credit that day for completing the @nyctriathlon as a #10k run was leg 3 of the #virtualduathlon. But the conditions were brutal with a heat index over 100°. I struggled to a 50:08 that day, for sure the slowest road 10K I have ever run. I knew I could do better than that today, although it wasn’t much cooler. I started by trying to just dial in a pace that felt smooth and maintainable for the whole distance. I was still a little fast on the first mile but then settled in for the next 4 miles, until paying for that first mile a bit on Mile 6. 48:13 is nowhere where I’d like to be, or think I would be in a real race, but I’m happy with booking almost a 2-minute improvement from that death march a few weeks ago! #runblr #fitblr #summertraining #summerrunning #10ktimetrial #strengthrunning #10ktrackrun #keeprunning #mcmillanrunteam #keepshowingup #fitnessgains (at Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrnf-DHyez/?igshid=heexgz7edbgb
