Progression run on a beautiful late fall day. Sunny around 50 degrees. Ran the first seven a little over eight-minute miles. Picked it up to 6:44 pace for a mile, then 6:26 (right at 5K pace) for a mile and finished with a strong 6:22 pace for the final mile. Definitely a tough workout and mentally challenging. Trying to translate this type of fast finish run into a stronger final mile in my 5K Saturday. |
