I felt great during but afterwards my hamstrings and groin were sore and tired. Got home after 4pm, ordered a Dominos pizza, legged it out for just over 3.5 miles, AHR 80%, Pace 8:15 Home in perfect time for pizza.

AHR 76% of max, Pace 8:42 Tuesday Almost 5 and a half miles Felt sluggish at the start but after a couple of miles I was into my stride, had to slow myself down on occasion. AHR 72% of max, Pace 9:11 My cadence has improved a lot over last couple of weeks, not sure how accurate my watch is though but again, I can feel the change. Plan is to race a 5k this weekend, weather dependent.

Really want sub 3:30 in DM though. Better in here than other thread
