I ran with Sasha, Daniel, Josse, and Michelle this morning. We ran out 2 miles before returning to the start of the 5 mile tempo. We then started the 5 mile tempo at 6:00 pace to test Michelle and see how long she could hold the pace for. Josse and Daniel did not want to go faster so they just did 1 mile with us and then slowed down. We held 6:00 pace and through 3.25 miles we were 1 second under pace. The next quarter was a little slow and then Michelle decided she had endured long enough and she slowed down. It was slower than marathon pace, but I have decided that from now on I will count anything around 6:00 pace as marathon pace in order to distinguish between those miles and slower miles that I run. We then ran back to Sasha's house for a total of 9 miles. After this, we ran out 2 miles and back for a total of 13 miles. Total time 1:41:42 |
