6:52 pace @ 170 BPM. This was my first run outside in about two weeks. Weather has been much better, but I just got into a treadmill groove (or is it a rut?). Decided to go off of prescription and do this classic workout to test some comparative data. This was no doubt faster than what I would have done on the treadmill (planned to start around 8.3 or what I think is 7:15 and finish up at 9.1, which is around 6:35 or 6:38 pace). So faster through the early part and about on target for the end.
3 up/2 down
I was pretty tired at the end. I haven't done a sustained workout at this effort for some time. I probably could have gone a touch easier, but the effort was on par with what I have done for this workout in the past, going on a decade or so now.
I looked over a few blog entries from this time in 2015 looking for magic formulae. I do look back at entries from time to time. I do feel like I am not moving forward fast enough and I am running out of faster running years, so I am doing what seems to have worked in the past until I need to change my approach I think.
