Week 8 - Wednesday: 20 min up/down with 2-4 mile tempo@LT pace
This is the type of workout that I am mentally afraid of and will often find a "reason" as to why I cannot get it done and today was no exception. I pushed the workout a day to Thursday due to work travel and was pretty close to bagging it this morning to help my daughter with her homework, citing that my husband had other things to due. Not true and he all but kicked me out the door to get it done.
20 min warm up 9:33, 9:09, +1:19
Tempo: 7:42, 7:28, 7:34 - I did not check my watch once, just focused on effort and was very pleased. I had some pretty good hills during mile three and would have probably been close to the same pace as the second mile. I have learned that I can managed these workouts better when I focus on effort not trying to achieve a specific pace.
20 min cool down 8:35, 8:38, +3:01
