4 miles in 29:57.
Starting at about 2.25 miles and ending just before the finish of my run, I ran 5 short pick-ups that I am estimating were about .05 each. I just wanted to get my legs moving fast without putting a lot of stress on my body. As I get back into shape, I feel like I first need to learn how to sprint again, and after that I can focus on learning how to run fast for an extended period of time.
As things are right now, because my aerobic fitness is still not great I will go anaerobic at moderate speeds, so I feel like I need to increase my general aerobic fitness first before I start running longer tempos, or longer intervals. This isn't to say that I won't run longer intervals (see last Saturday), but I feel generally like I need to focus more on the short stuff at present.
