Today I wanted to do a workout to develop strength for staying on pace in races or longer tempos. For me the best thing is mile repeats so today I wanted to do 4 x 1 mile at 6:40 pace with a couple minutes recovery. I am still in DC and lucky to have a pretty nice track close by. I did a 3 mile warmup and then did the repeats in: 1st - 6:35 (This one was a struggle as I was trying get the legs awake) 2nd - 6:36 (Felt better on this one) 3rd - 6:34 (Felt ok but feeling it the last lap) 4th - 6:29 (Not bad and wanted to finish strong) I was pretty happy with the workout and think it turned out good. I am hoping that this will help me stay on pace for some longer tempo workouts to come. 1:14:16 |
