On the way home tonight I felt fine, my legs were kind of fresh after sitting for 4 hours at a meeting, and outside conditions looked great no rain, clear skies, crisp temperatures and a light breeze. I decided to go out and test again some speed with a mini tempo run. I wanted to do 5 miles in 36 minutes, goal marathon pace, and at the end I exceeded my expectations finishing in 34:21. I started on pace and then I progressively accelerated to hm/10 k pace. At the end I could have kept the pace for another 5 miles but I didn't want to exaggerate and finished with a couple of km walking enjoying the cool crispy air. |
