Pre-run spin of 41 min
Alan Culpepper from "Run Like a Champion" (2015) in the chapter concerning "Psychology for Success" = "...training is hard enough without making it harder by adding emotional stress. When you have a workout that can be accomplished in a variety of settings, choose with your mental disposition in mind." Even though I love running outside and with others, this is why treadmill tempos during high pollen season work best for me. #confidence
1 pm treadmill run; Asics DS Racer; very high pollen and rain moving into area.
1.5 WU w/run drills and 4 x strider
7 mile tempo in 43:35 (6:13 avg); pushed it faster pace every mile beginning with 3 (first two 6:25 pace; last mile 5:55 pace). Today was a break through workout that haven't felt since last year pre-overtraining. I couldn't hit this performance outside and barely did inside as I got light-headed and was losing focus near end; but I am refinding my ability to push the pace.
