6.50 on the TM. Weather forced me to take my workout to the gym on the TM. 2 mile warmup and then the plan was a 4 mile tempo at or below 6:30 minute/miles. 1-7:00 2-6:18 3-6:18 4-6:18 Overall avg for tempo portion was around 6:26.
I switched TMs right as I began my tempo, so by the time I finished mile 1 it averaged out to a 7 minute/mile. Most of it was at 6:18 though. I'm pretty encouraged by this run. After I hit mile 2 I felt like I could have pushed it a bit more. Plus, I have a hard time going fast on the TM because it takes a while to get comfortable on it. The thought of doing a 5k at 6:00 pace doesn't sound so far fetched right now. Also, my body is feeling good this week with the cut back on mileage.
