Woke up with snow on the ground today, but hubby had today off so I was bound and determined to run outside. Wanted to do a fast tempo so I drove to the track. I did a 3.25 mile warm up. (It took a while for me to warm up with it being so cold) After stretching I started my tempo. Splits were 6:16, (kind of a slow start) 6:12, (thats better) 6:08 and my last .5 was 2:54. (6:10 avg pace overall) Felt pretty good today-first mile was the hardest-for some reason it always takes my body the first mile to adjust into tempo pace and then I get more comfortable. I am planning on doing this workout again in 2-3 weeks and hopefully my time will be faster. |
