First mile was 7:50 and I kept going from there. The wind beat me up, but I progressed through the 7-minute range and then the six-minute range with 6:57, 6:40, 6:31, 6:15. Cooled down 2 miles with strides. Starting to feel somewhat normal.
3 (6 x 35 seconds) with equal distance recovery and 5' jog between sets
30'up/20' down
I felt decent. It's not a tough workout and yet it isn't easy. The idea is to run the first set at 5k, the second at 2-mile, and the third at mile. Lungs aren't used to the cold air. I'll increase the seconds as I move through my early to late basebuilding phase over the next 12-15 weeks before starting my marathon build up for Detroit in October.
