Despite massaging, icing, and stretching my hamstrings all weekend I woke up incredibly sore still this morning. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong lately, I've never had hamstring issues before. Anyway, today called for a 5 mile LT run, I felt like I've just kind of been getting the miles in lately and not getting any quality workouts in so I decided to try and go for it anyway. Started out slow, did a 5 mile warmup, took a quick water break and then started on the tempo run, the plan was to try and do 5 miles in 30 minutes, start out at 6:10 pace and progressively get faster, things started OK but after the first mile I bumped up the pace and my body just didn't want to respond, I felt like I was going to hurt something, so I just left well enough alone and just ran at that pace. Last mile a little faster. Truthfully, I should be able to get into the 5:40 range on an LT run, I'm not sure if today did more damage than good but at least I got through it, based on HR it really was still an LT run so that's good I suppose.
