Another standard run, 2 miles in the middle of my walk. The walk functions very well as both a warm-up and cool down. Mile splits were as follows:
Mile 1: 7:17 (this is still faster than I had intended, but felt good. I believe the faster pace is due to increased concentration on my running form)
Mile 2: 6:30 (Gasp! I had no idea this mile was this fast until I hit my split button on my watch. At the end of the second mile, I was breathing somewhat hard, but certainly could have sustained the pace).
I will have to make more of a concerted effort next run to keep my pace under control. |
