Thanks Ed.
Well I did the 10K in 42:16. I felt good before the start but didn't feel very strong when I started running. I wasn't expecting a great time for this one anyway, there will be enough races this season to get better times.
A good thing is that I'm pretty sure my problems lately are a result of my allergies. I always have a bit of allergies during the pollen season, but this year it seems to be a lot worse. I started feeling weaker around the same time my allergies started, and lately I noticed that I feel better when inside. That means things should get better with time as the worst of the pollen season is done.
For the next cycle, I figure I should stick to the same pace again in order to get a more consistent set of runs. Correct?
Day 20 - 35min recovery @ 5:20 pace (legs sore, but felt good)
Day 21 - 35min recovery @ 5:20 pace (quads still a bit sore, but felt good)
