Big workout / long run.
3.5 miles WU; 2 x 3200m (400m jog rest); 7 miles in 7:07 avg; 2 x 3200m (400m jog rest), 1 mile CD.
It was very warm and humid this morning. Good prep for my possible marathon conditions, I suppose, but I about melted out there. Started at 66F air / 65F dew point and finished at 75F air / 68F dew point by the end.
10:27 (5:13.x/5:13.x)
10:27 (5:12/5:15)
7 miles @ 7:07 avg
10:24 (5:14/5:10)
10:29 (5:14/5:15)
This one is structured so the last 2 reps are at miles 16-19 of the run. I didn't mean to hit 5:10, but the math in my brain got fuzzy and I thought I was barely holding 5:15 pace. It about fried me for the last rep. I don't go to the well in many workouts, but the last 1600m had me dipping in just a little. I'm okay with doing that every now and then.
Also just noticed this is a weekly mileage PR. Previous best of 100.2.
