Hip was hurting pretty bad today. But it's most likely from the speed yesterday, so just running a regular 50% shouldn't do too much damage. It was borderline between being too painful to run on and being able to push through it. When Patrick asked I told him I could do 5 miles at the 50%, but if it was too much I'd turn early and slow down. To be honest I was a bit worried the pace would still be too fast for it (I was going slow on the warmups and form mile and it was ehh) but after a half mile the pain eased. Starting and stopping is the worst, but after like 15 seconds of starting the pain numbs again. Also, was certain we were running slower than 50% going up canyon (my watch was under my sweatshirt and it was cold so I didn't look at it much) but Paul wasn't saying anything, so I thought he was just being nice and letting us go slow on the uphills. But nope! Turns out it was 50% the whole time, the mile I thought was too slow was actually 7:35. So I'm happy that 50% are at least getting pretty easy. 7:26 average, 5 miles wasn't bad at all. |
