I met the BBK's at the trail on 7800 S. The plan was 1 warm up mile, 5 miles at tempo pace, a recovery mile, 5 miles at tempo and 1 easy cool down mile. My mile splits were 9:53, 7:51, 7:46, 7:29, 7:46, 7:19, 9:47, 7:27, 7:37, 7:37, 8:07, 7:38 and 9:07. We went out 6.5 miles and came back. We had a strong headwind on the way back. I'm mad at myself for slowing down to a 8:07 during the last tempo run. It was totally a mental thing. Average pace 8:07. |
