PM - ran outside again. I took a different route today to spice things up. After starting off slower than I thought (unless my Garmin was just acting up), I started to pick up that pace after 1/4 mile. First mile ended up being about 8:18. Second mile was faster, about 7:58 (if memory serves me right). Then I decided to pick up the pace, and ran the next 1/2 mile at 6:46 pace. After a short break, I finished the run at a nice easy pace for the last 1/2 mile. Average pace for the run was 7:51/mile. I ran without my inserts again, and it felt much better than with them in - at least from the perspective of not feeling like I was running in a pair of bricks. I will keep wearing my inserts during the day, but I think I am going to continue to not wear them for running. |
