11 mile warm up

10 mile tempo

1 mile cool down

Big workout this morning with the Circle of trust and Stephen. Met at the DC for my MTL run out around the fields. Hit the warm up pretty chill and it was around a 7:10 avg. Goals for the tempo were to just put it in gear and see how it went. Got out a little faster than prior weeks but wasn't able to bring the last two miles down as fast to finish. Still ended with a 5:26 avg for the 10 mile tempo. Basically the same route as weeks before but with a minor change because the trail is being worked on around mile 6. So todays route is just a little slower due to turns getting on the trail system. Last weeks avg for the 10 miles was 5:34. So some pretty good progress. Happy about the run and mileage this week.

Splits

5:33, 5:24, 5:16, 5:30, 5:30, 5:27, 5:32, 5:23, 5:28, 5:28

Actually a pretty even effort. The 5:16 has a little down hill. Other miles like 2,4,5, have some good rollers with the rest pretty flattish. At least for STG.

Real nice stretch of these tempo runs over the last month. You're gonna be very well prepared for Phoenix.

Very nice tempo, very nice mileage, and you are ready for a great marathon!

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to bring this Clyde to PHX and let him run. Hopefully I can find a way to not screw another race up.
