10k Tempo @ Half Marathon Effort

41:04, so basically what I ran on Sunday, but on a 1km+ flat loop. 65 degrees and overcast, but super humid. I was going to do 6 x 1 mile around subthreshold to half marathon effort, but decided to see how I felt going continuously. Worked out well. Felt very controlled. 6:42, 6:40, 6:38, 6:35, 6:35, 6:30, averaged 6:36. HR 165. Avg power 367. I am still not 100% on goal pace for 2.5 weeks from now, but I think breaking 1:25 is probably a sensible but challenging goal. I am basically hoping to run my fastest half since I turned 40/returned to running. I felt like I could have gone through 8 miles today at this pace, so race day should be doable. 

PM: 4 miles, averaged 10:15. HR 121.
