Relaxing Run

So, this was just a chillin’ day.  Check out that pace…Average of 8:15.7.  Temp high 60’s.  Funny to say “High”, since it’s such a cool/decent temp to do a run like this. 

Legs still feeling a bit sore, so took it easy.  I can’t believe I was able to do this.  Just relax and have a recovery type run.  Not just a day or two off as the recovery.  An actual slow/easy day. 




I’ve not put this up on the blog before, but I’ve been tracking the trend of speed, per mile run.  The green line is a linear estimate of the pace, based on the miles run.  It’s kind of scattered, but there is a bit of a trend.  One trend that is very apparent is that most of my runs are between 2-4.5 miles.

I’ve always like shorter distances, so they tend to stand out.  I’m surprised to see the longer runs also under the curve.  This is just data from May 26^th until today.  I’d be interested in doing this for the last couple of years….but that would be a pain, and not sure what it would show.  I’ll just keep updating this for the year, and start a new one next year.  If I can stay consistent in running, it’ll be interesting to see how the chart develops.  A similar slope, but just shifted down?  Steeper?  flatter?  Will be neat to see the race outliers, which I’ll have to put in a different color.  But, I’m just babbling now.  Time to just be happy and run.

Go go go.
