I met the East High team at Liberty Park this morning. Most of them have races tomorrow, so I was solo for my workout. I warmed up 2.5 miles. Then, I ran 3x 1.5 mile repeats, with a half mile jog in between. I liked doing the workout this way, because I started at a different spot on the loop each interval. My goal was to run all three under nine minutes (6 min pace). My first one was 8:57, my second, 8:53 (this one ended slightly downhill.) and the last one was 8:57 (slight uphill finish.). I was pleased with the workout. I felt like I ran hard, but I think I can push through to the next level with some running partners. I still feel like I settle into a pace, and have a hard time pushing out of it. I need someone to chase.
I cooled down 2 miles for a total of ten today. |
