So, I've been struggling most of the summer with running and haven't done hardly any speedwork. This morning I did attempt a 5 mile tempo workout. I did 1.5 warm-up from Three Falls over to 400 South in Hurricane.
1- 6:46
2- 6:54
3- 6:46
4- 7:06
5- 6:42
34:17 (6:51 avg)
Ok so overall, pretty slow splits, but I guess you have to start somewhere. Also this tempo course is pretty much flat there is a slight hill in the middle of mile 2 and most of mile 4 is a minimal uphill climb. The last mile has the most downhill and typically should be the fastest.
1.5 cool-down
20 minutes on the exercise bike.
So I'm going to plan to do this tempo route pretty much every week until the St. George Marathon. I only really have two goals for the marathon run under a 3:15, so I can Boston Qualify again and enjoy the race.
