Well today I went for a 6 mile run after work, with the middle 4 at tempo pace. I just ran through the neighborhoods in Berkeley and over into Rockridge. Gosh my calves were so tight on the hills, I was dragging! I kind of remember this happening last week after pilates. I'm not sure what that class is doing to my legs because we mostly work on core, but good grief. I need to remember not to do pilates before any long runs.
I tried to hit the tempo pace, but I was definitely slow where there were hills. I think I made up to some extent on downhills and flat ground toward the end. However, the last mile of the run (non-tempo) I'm sure was super slow. I was just done for. I finished the 6 miles at 9'55". Dragging. Gotta get these muscles loosened up.
