9 miles with 4 @ tempo

The dreaded Advanced Marathoning tempo runs. While many more modern plans break up the tempo session into intervals, the Advanced Marathoning plans just have them in one block.

Today was just a four mile block but that felt more than enough.

I normally get my heart rate up to 155 and see what pace comes out. On a good day it can be close to 6:00 min / mile pace but today it was more like 6:25. Why the loss of fitness?

Who knows! Since mid September I have been off my best and haven’t had any training or racing PBs. Fitness can be a mysterious thing. It comes in peaks and troughs. Hopefully by the time of my Half Marathon in 8 weeks time I’ll be peaking again.
