AM: struggled to hit 7:10 pace for 4 of the 5 miles PM: Felt good went 6:40 pace for 5 in 88 degree weather. Probably too fast. After reading some more of pfitzinger I am thinking about splitting my 'easy' runs into recovery runs and general aerobic runs. Mornings could be recovery at 8+ pace insuring that I get a recovery run before and after every workout. And afternoons that don't have a workout could be general aerobic miles at about 7min pace. Want to read pfitzingers road racing for serious runners. Right now all i have is his advanced marathoning book which is not really what im interested in.
Even Jack Daniels puts my 'easy' pace at 7:10-7:22. Then again he puts my marathon pace at 6:12 or something like that lol. These are based on my mile and half marathon PR's. And I think that I am nearly in the shape I was in for both of them.
