AM - 5 miles, nice & easy.

PM - 10 miles. Met Andrea and Kevin at Highland for a track workout. The plan was cruise intervals (8-10 x 1K w/ 200m recovery) at goal half-marathon pace (I'm hoping to crack the 1:05 barrier in Duluth). We warmed up 2 miles around SHP then got going. I ended up running 8 x 1000m in 3:05 average... so right on pace. It was windy and I just didn't feel like I had my "A" game today, so I didn't feel the need to force the issue and squeeze out 10 reps. I got what I needed out of this. I've had 6 faster sessions in the last 10 days so I need to make sure I don't go over the line and put myself in a recovery hole. The three of us slowly jogged the perimeter of the park again for a cooldown.

Running 15:25 5K splits (x4!) for a non-aided 1/2 marathon seems intimidating on paper, but I feel very confident that with another month of training, I should be able to do this.

Hopefully the wind eases up a bit for your track workout. Have fun!

Longer than a 800M repeat...shorter than a mile repeat...it's Ks on the track! They are slowly becoming my favorite.

Nice workout and sounds like a smart move not to push for 10 in the wind. Great average for an off day.

Good workout Jake. 1,000 repeats were a staple of the Weber State program when I was there, and I always found them to be very beneficial. As far as your goal goes, just being confident you can do it means you're halfway there. We had a motto on my high school cross country team, "It's all mental".
