10K, workout #35
Today, another long run. This wasn't the original plan, though. I'll explain.
After the race on Saturday, I was supposed to do a recovery week, but the next race is two weeks away now and during the last race, I could really feel I had already run more than 70K that week. So, I switched this week and the next - more mileage this week, less next week. I'm not sure it's smart, but we'll see. That's how I was planning to do a tempo run today of 7*1000m, but my legs feel tired still, so I decided to do tomorrow's long run today, and the tempo work-out tomorrow. Thursday I won't run, so that good after a tempo run anyway.

Afterwards
Most of my runs, I use a metronome and for long runs, I mainly use 190 spm, but I sometimes feel this is too high for slow runs. I used 186 spm and while it might sound like a small difference, it is quite notable. My legs are still a bit sore, but the run went fine.
