5.1 miles in 35:06.
During the run I ran 2 x 1 mile hard (0.5 mile recovery between) in 5:55, and 5:49 (recovery in 3:57). My watch consistently measures distance short, leading me to think that the mile repeats were actually between 1.01 and 1.02 miles. This would mean that the first repeat would have been between 4:48-4:51, and the second between 5:42-5:45.
It was kind of windy outside, and I had more noticable headwind during the second repeat, so I was surprised when this repeat ended up being faster than the first. I could also tell during the second repeat that I had not done a workout like this in at least 3.5 years, as my legs felt weak, so I was happy that I was able to speed up, rather than slow down.
On a side note, temperatures were in the low to mid 80's during the run, despite running in the early evening, and I felt dehydrated by the end of the run.
