Noon, 29 degrees, little to no wind. Some days you just don't have a clue what you're really doing pace wise. The plan today was to run 6-7 miles and hit 6-7x1 minute @ 5k pace with the rest in the 7:15 range. So I headed off on a course that I thought was about 6-7 miles, but I wasn't certain. It turns out that I did an 8 mile loop. I hit my 7x60secs@5k pace and probably did another 1.2 at base I pace recovering and another 1.2 at base II pace, with the rest of the run at marathon pace (6:50ish range maybe). At any rate, the entire run was 8 miles in 55:16 (6:54s -- average pace for the entire run @ M-pace). A good quality workout that had my tongue dragging on the concrete at the finish. |
