Lunch: 5 miles. HR 142. Cool and rainy. Great day for an evening track workout.

PM: Track Tuesday - 10 miles total. 4 up, some strides, then 3 x 1600 hard with 2 min rest, then 3 mile cool down.

My pacing wasn't great and I fell asleep in the last rep but I ran pretty hard. It helped to have cool air and light rain. Rest might have been too long, but close enough.

5:22, 5:26, 5:28

I felt like a million bucks on the first one, and felt that the rest was far too long for standing but it got harder. Legs were pretty loaded 300 meters into the third rep and slowed a bit somewhere in there, but picked it up the last 200 (or so I think).

Nice man. Pretty quick. Have you ever done 3 x mile at that fast of an average before?

From Jason D on Wed, Jun 03, 2015 at 12:26:35 from 68.80.27.222

No. This is definitely the fastest. I am pretty sure I've only ever run perhaps 5-6 miles under 5:30 pace. And I wonder why I can't go out and run 3.1 miles worth of them!

This was about ~5 seconds average overall faster than on the roads 4 or 5 days ago. I can run fast, but I'm lazy :-)

I've done 4 x 1 mile with 90 seconds rest @ 5:30 average but that was with a Garmin on a half mile loop, which likely skewed them some.

Some more workouts like this, and you will be able to.

It's good to do something this hard on the track... then you don't have to wonder if your watch was just having a good day... it was all you :-)
