5pm and 82 degrees today. The goal today was just to get miles in at a mostly easy and comfortable pace. I would say that it was a pleasant failure. It was a failure in the sense that by easy and comfortable I would put the pace between 7:35 and 7:45 for an average. Yet I ended up sub 7:20 overall. Lets take a look at the breakdown. 8.6 in 1:02:49 (7:18s). The first 1.55 were in 12:01 (7:45s). The next 5.5 in 40:00 (7:16s). Last 1.55 in 10:47 (6:57s). An absolute progressive run, but in all honesty the pace didn't feel pressed. Definitely I was on target through the 1st 3rd and was probably still at the fast end of the target at the half-way point, but as the pace picked up, it didn't feel like I was doing anything but keeping the pace steady. I suppose this is another example of how as the body warms up properly it gets naturally faster.
