Falling 8 seconds off your pace is hardly bonking. Sometimes you feel worse than you actually are. You should have kept going until you really bonked, when you were 30 or 45 seconds off pace and were another 2-3 miles down the road.

On the other hand, don't sweat it. Occasionally, for no obvious reason, your body will rebel and you simply will not be able to get out of it what you wanted. On those days, take what it'll give, then soften your training over the next few days to allow some recovery.


True. I guess I had been running closer to 6:55 or 7 flat in the miles right before that though so 7:20 seemed like it was heading the wrong way fast. But true, it's not that far off. Something to consider.
Still, the next day i had to cut my run short after 1.5 miles because my quads were wasted from the long run.

In any case, I see what you are saying and agree. I'll take it as a positive as i move forward and recover.
