Ran 6.5 miles today in 37:44, which averages out to about a 5:50 average mile. I felt bad, however, during the run. Since I ran 15 miles on Friday, my stamina seems to be shot. I tried to hold on to a faster paced mile but it was unsuccessfull. It felt as if I were pushing against a stone wall every time that I took a new step. I guess my time was not bad, but I know that if I had full strength then I would be able to push harder. I ran a .5 mile cool down.

Nick,

You most likely were sluggish from the 15 miler the day before, however, it appears that you went right into this tempo run and was trying to hit a fast pace. A good warm up of a few miles would have made the faster pace feel easier and would have taken off the edge from the workout the day before. I've always felt sluggish or tired the next day after a longer run, but as my coach has said you can't always run hard and recovery miles are important too. It seems by your times you have speed warm up good or you'll be looking at down time for injuries.

I agree with Bill on both points. Especially since 15 miles for you right now is a very long run.
