AM-7 miles with 3-5 min fartlek surges to 5:40-5:20/mi. Just played with it and let my body talk to me. Talk to me it did! after an initial slow start, things really got moving and ended up running the last one which is measured at 3:32 for 1200m. Did 4 of these to open up on the legs and to perform some high end aerobic work. I'm finally starting to feel like the runner I used to be, chomping at the bit like an old warhorse locked in the corral. PM-Easy 3 mile jog with a couple of striders for fun. Planning on doing the Provo River Half tomorrow to get a baseline performance. I hope this might give me a good baseline performance and maybe even reveal some weak spots. Sasha wants me to go out with him and just hang on as long as possible. Still considering that approach perhaps. But it might be better to go out behind someone else and stay fairly comfortable for at least a few miles and then wind out towards the end. That will give me a decent experience. I just don't wanna die go to the side like roadkill!
