Analysis:
I completed the 10 miles at roughly a 10min/mile pace. 10min/mile is roughly 50 seconds slower than my goal pace, but I’m not overly concerned this early on. I did not wear a watch, heart rate monitor, or headphones, this was a leisurely pace for me and I doubt I broke out of the 160’s in HR at any time. I ate a homemade egg McMuffin about an hour before leaving and about 15-20 minutes before leaving had a protein bar. Felt a little too full and sluggish to start, this may have been too much food. The entire run was otherwise unsupported. Left calve started to feel tight around might 7-8 and the left leg felt tight towards the end but I opened up my pace a little without and increase in tightness. I wore my patella tendon knee braces and the besides small pain here and there the knees felt fine. I also was not incapacitated the rest of the day. I ate like a gorilla and came in well under on my calorie target. First long run is in the book, and the first week is behind me.
Total Miles For the Week = 23
Target miles = 29
