AM: 8.9 miles, averaged 7:52. HR 148.
20' + 10' Steady
Got up early as I had to be on campus for faculty advisor training. I wasn't really ready for a workout at 7:00, but felt very solid once I got going. I figured about 6:45-6:42 on the 20' but hopefully faster and 6:35-6:32 on the 10' but hopefully faster. It went quite well and I was pleased. Air was damp but quite cool. 20' @ 6:35 pace @ 166 BPM and 10' @ 6:22 pace @ 168 HR. I would say that this is roughly half marathon pace with a 2-3 day taper. I have three week until my next half, so I will see what work I can get done between now and then. Not a lot of time, but still able to get in at least four quality sessions and the longer runs of 100'-120' should help.
5' jog between intervals. 20' up and 15' down as I was running short on time.
PM: 4.4 miles, averaged 10:13. HR 120.
Beautiful afternoon. I was dragging my legs along. I haven't been doing secondary runs after workouts for quite some time, though lately have generally been doing 60' easy-moderate on the trainer.
