Final long pace run before next weekend. Justifiably concerned about the status of the left adductor and hamstring, did some work on it during the day at work. First lap of the run felt fine, soon after 5k the attachment point got sore similar to how it felt during the latter stages of the last one of these I tried two weeks ago. I figured it would cause me to stop but at a certain point things stabilized and I made it through the rest of the way. Splits as follows:
5:50/5:52/2:51
5:46/5:49/2:49
5:46/5:49/2:50
5:48/5:53/2:52
5:51/5:57/2:50
Much better this time about hitting the pace from the get-go and not starting too fast. The slowdown on the last lap was troublesome in that the effort level felt the same. Did a double take upon seeing the 5:57 for the last 1600 split. From an exertion standpoint it never felt like I was going too deep in the hole, but that's not the concern anyway. It's all about how the leg will hold up. The cooldown was a hobble, as the problem area was plenty sore by that point. Conditions cool and breezy, winds gusty at times but not overly obnoxious.
