Thankfully weather held off for me today (even saw the sun briefly at the end of the run:). Temp said 65F. As soon as I got kids to school, I got myself ready for this run.
Plan for today was 10miles. 4 Easy (8:45 pace) 4 Moderat (8:15 pace) 2 Hard/Fast (No slower than 8 pace) I think my friend Bruce calls this kind of a run progression???
To be honest I was nervous to do this workout. I believed I could do it, but the pacing set by my coach had me a tad worried. Thankfully I trust/believe in him, and just let my legs feel it.
After the run I immediately did the Core6 workout. My legs were heavy, and definitely started to tighten up and get crampy. I followed the Core6 with yoga, foam roller, and then a 7min ice bath. After all that, legs felt great again:) Tho I can feel them tightening up as I sit here typing away. Must finish quick and foam roller again.
10 miles in 1:23:53 for an average pace of 8:23

Yup, what you accomplished in grand fashion was a progression run when you run progressively faster miles...these runs help you to learn to maintain form when tired AND to facilitate negative splits during your race.
A 7 minute ice bath is a great idea, but not so sure about doing yogas or bicycles with tired and heavy legs...I doubt I would be able to accomplish so much stress as you did today!
