Recovery Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 39:42
Pace: 9:54 min/mi

Comments: Legs are a bit weary and it showed on this effort. It felt like more of a slog than any run in quite awhile and my heart rate was in the higher range longer than usual as well.

I tried to accommodate the situation with a deliberate warm up mile but things never really got better. I also had issues holding on a steady pace (although keeping it under the 40 minute target wasn't too much of an issue).

Overall this wasn't a disaster of a run but it is a good warning in regards to pushing to get too much done too soon. I'll keep close tabs on mileage for the rest of the week.
