Today was fun. I wanted to test my ability to run at the higher speeds I'm working on with sore legs.


I wasn't sure how it would go. I knew my nervous system was in better shape today, so it was worth trying out.


Of the 5.5 to 5.6 miles I ran in those 45 minutes, I was able to run 4.5 of them at 7.5mph (8 minute mile pace). This was 36 of the 45 minutes in total.


Why risk it? This was a test to see how fast I might be able to run my Spartan races with sore legs on the multi race weekends.


How else would you find out without attempting these things and working in imperfect conditions?


No excuses!
