Nearly 100% humidity today, but the temperature was fairly cool. It would have helped to have a workout partner today to pace me or help monitor pace. The workout plan was 5x1 mile with the first two controlled, push the third and then controlled push on the last two. I took the first one out far too fast and slowed way down to try to get back on schedule. The time for the first rep was 6:39, which was about the right pace, but very uneven during the interval. I tried to control the second but ended up with 6:31. Faster than I wanted, but I still wanted to push the third. The third rep was 6:34, slower than I wanted but still faster than the 6:40 controlled pace I was shooting for on the first and last reps. Then I ended up running the final two reps faster than I thought as well. Fourth was 6:27 and the final mile was the fastest at 6:21. Rest interval of 1:50. So I averaged 6:30 miles, which is excellent I think. Two more quality workouts next week before the big 10K August 8! |
