Turnover Tuesday 

The workout today was 16 x 1/4 mile with 1/4 mile recoveries. I did the 1/4's progressive and not too hard to start. The idea was controlled and strong but still get a good stimulus in. Warmed up two miles. The 1/4's were: 78, 78, 78, 77, 77, 76, 76, 76, 75, 73, 72, 72, 70, 69, 68, 68.  Recoveries were all at ~7:45 pace. After the last recovery I ran a mile at tempo effort in 5:45 then ran an easy cool down. Happy with this today. I needed it more for the mental boost than anything :). 6:28 avg for the run.

Yikes! That's a good workout. I want to do something like that before the Freedom Run 5K, let me know the next time you are doing it.

Niiiice! Loving the tempo mile at the end. That is such great practice for the late miles of a race.

Thanks all!

That's why I like it too Rachelle. The mile is not that fast and feels slow compared to the 1/4's but it didn't start until the 10 mile point in the workout when I was a little tired :).

nice job! I reckon you'll have some PR's this summer to see how your're progressing!
