5.1 miles in 37:34.
I ran 4 x .25 hard during the run, at approximately 2.0, 2.75, 3.75, and 4.85 miles. I didn't want to run too many repeats since I am still getting in shape, and I also wanted more of a sprinting non-aerobic stimulus from the repeats, thus the long rest. Since my watch does such a poor job of measuring distance I just ran 1:20 hard and called it a quarter for the first three repeats even though I knew it was a little farther. For the last repeat I actually ran a quarter as I had previously measured on the course tool where 0.25 miles from my house is. I ran the final quarter in 1:14 (slowed some by a 90 degree turn near the end as I turn onto the street I live on). My best guess is that the other quarters were at a similar speed/effort as the last one. My achilles on my short leg was sore the rest of the evening, making me think that despite my efforts to not overdo things, this workout may have been a little too intense.
