Great day (60, sunny)! I have to enjoy days like today because I know hot and humid will be here soon. Today I planned a 4 mile tempo run at around 6:50 pace. I felt good this morning especially after I had warmed up a few miles. I haven't done a tempo run on a know route since before I ran the half marathon so wasn't sure what to expect. Recently most of my tempos have just been based on time/effort due to travel. I started off a little fast on the first mile but felt good. The second mile I got it back to the pace I wanted. I slowed a little on the third then picked it up for the last mile. Overall I felt good and I didn't feel like I had to strain to hold the pace. I need to work on keeping a more consistent pace but since I haven't been doing a lot of these workouts I guess that is to be expected. Here are the splits:
1st - 6:39
2nd - 6:52
3rd - 6:58
4th - 6:45
Overall: 59:33 |
