Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
11.30	0.00	5.00	0.00	16.30

AM: LT repeats on Courtland: 3.1 up, then 5 x 1 mile w/ 2 min recovery jogs, 3.1 down. 5:57, 5:59, 6:03, 6:01, 6:04 (6:01 average).

A touch fast maybe, but it wasn't out of control. Had to fight back toward the end to get some seconds on the last one. Probably could have gone in reverse order and finished better, but I'm happy with it. I'd have to look, but I don't think any LT workouts from spring were this fast. In fact I know I didn't hit any sub-6s in any LT workouts, only v02 max workouts and races.

PM: Rest Haven loops - 4.1 miles, averaged 8:39

Nice set of mile repeats!

From Jake K on Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 17:25:55 from 67.177.11.154

Yeah, really good Jason. Nice workout.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 19:43:11 from 63.149.157.76

Yeah, those are really great repeats. That might be your HM pace by the time your November race comes around. Great job.

From Jason D on Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 20:41:34 from 24.1.80.94

Thanks! It was nice to hit those paces, especially with how my legs have felt.

Joe: I expect to be running a bit faster than this in November. The goal time I believe I only told Bam in a private message because he's the only one crazy enough to think I can do it! I am going to take a crack sub-1:20 in 4 weeks unless the weather is ridiculous, but a PR would be fine (Nov is a long way off). I'm just concerned that even though my speed is good, my endurance is not (only 2 two-hour LRs at this point, and 2-3 more before the next half)

Great pacing Jason. I'm still looking forward to seeing what November brings.. You're sure moving in the right direction.
