My schedule had 6X600 today but it is too hard to map out 600 meters on the road so I turned it into 6X1/2 mile (did the same thing a couple of weeks ago). I checked my 1st mile warm up split and noticed that my Garmin was dead. Ran back home, got my watch and ran to an area where I have the quarter mile markers memorized. Ended up with a 3 mile warm up. Didn't expect to have a whole lot of energy after Saturday's long run. Here are the splits: | Repeat | Time | Note | | 1 | 2:47 | Gravity assisted (first 1/4 1:15)
| | 2 | 2:54 |
| | 3 | 2:58 | Considered stopping at this point | | 4 | 2:53 | | | 5 | 2:51 | Felt the most comfortable on this one | | 6 | 2:58 | | | Average | 2:54 (5:47/mile)

I started too fast during the first 3. Once I got a better feel for the pace, I was able to run the last 3 much more comfortably. I guess I rely on my Garmin too much for pacing information. It was probably good to go Garminless. I jogged for 2:30 between each which I figure is close to 1/4 mile. Finished with an easy 2.25 mile cool down
Total Time: 1:12:54 (7:40/mile) |
