7 mi in 55:07
4 x 3/4 mi repeats w/ 1/4 mi recov in between. Splits were 5:02, 4:56, 4:49 and 5:01 for an avg of 4:57 which is 6:36 mpm pace. Target was 6:20 pace. Missed a little more than this WO 2 weeks ago. It was on a hillier course, Brookwood Manor vs. Moon Place last time. I had a pulling pain in the left postierior knee ligament. And by the end both hips and supporting muscles in my upper thighs/quad felt completely fatigued. Had to concentrate today to keep decent form. Kept trying to post up on the left foot strike. Some pain in the left SI/IT band connection. Gutted out this run today. Very chilly but clear and a full moon.
