Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.25	8.00	0.00	0.00	15.25

AM/Lunch: Flourtown Tempo Loop - 15.25 miles, averaged 7:06

4 up/3.25 down w/ 8-mile tempo. Ran by effort. No cheating/Easter Egg Splits. Results were good. Just under 6:23 average. It helps that I have two 20 milers and a 17er under my belt already. Still, pleased with this as a start. It was a solid progression and I felt I could have pushed on harder if asked to for 2 more miles.

Left a little in the tank - always a good feeling!

That's a really smooth progression without cheating.

Turning my pace off, even for workouts, is something I should have done a long time ago.
