Personal:

My name is Eugenio I was born near Rome, Italy, in 1972 and lived there for 29 years, then in 2001 I moved to Salt Lake City for work and for seven years and one month that was my home, since 2008 I am back to Italy. I started running in 2003 when I realized I could not ride my bike throughout the Utah winter.

Because I am not sure about my tomorrow night running schedule, I anticipated tonight my MP run. Goal pace was 4:30/km, the first 2 k were hard (4:36, 4:27) because it was cold and my legs were not warm enough, then once I was warm enough I started going a couple of seconds faster each k finishing the last 3k with 4:18, 4:15, 4:09. Final time for 10k was 43:43 AP 4:22/k.

After struggling for a few weeks I finally managed to bring my 10k tempo run under 45 minutes.

6 mile solo tempo runs are tough. Can you find a running buddy?

Kam,

I have a running buddy during the summer months, but during the "dark" months I am alone. It is actually very easy doing a tempo run solo, I have a goal time, I am focused and time goes by very fast. Running 6 "slow-recovery-aerobic" miles alone in the dark that is really hard.
