This was a deceleration workout that I didn’t want to deal with on the treadmill so went outside when I saw on the radar that no major rain bands were on their way. Misting drizzle throughout; left the headphones at home. Hip flexors super tight this morning; need to add in regular mobility work. (Need my days to be 36 hrs instead of 24. Haha) RPMs could have been higher - was trying to run with a metronome on my phone but could not hear it. Need to troubleshoot that bc the metronome is going to be super helpful. Now that the 170s are easier, J wants me around 180. Not my best run but a “good enough” run is better than no run at all. :) Miss my long runs in EC. Winning moment today: thanks to all the cadence work, it’s the first time I hit a faster pace than what was predicted for a workout without going over my watts!!!!! *happy dance*
