Good weather. Cool, but not cold. Decided to do this on one of my regular run routes and do it twice, which I have done before. I figured I could get out in the 6:40s and run pretty comfortably and that would be about right. I found it hard to establish rhythm on the route with a grade changes but that was the point. Took a while to wake my legs up from the longer ride but then I felt quite strong. I started around 6:50 pace and worked in the 6:30s toward the end where it was flat to slightly downhill. Only have a partial list of splits as I just used my lap function and Strava. One two mile segment was 6:38 pace and has a decent about of uphill, with an adjusted pace of 6:33, so I am feeling pretty good.
Averaged 6:44. HR 168
A lighter week this week as I did 17+ hours and I have a 10k next Saturday. I will likley do shorter easy runs, no midweek workout, and either very short second runs on 60' on the trainer (the most likely)
