10.21 mi, 1:20:29, 7:53 avg, elev gain 254 feet
Another tough Tuesday, or maybe terrific Tuesday. Finally reached the peak of increasingly longer Tuesday intervals as next week heads into the taper.
3x(2k@7:00, then 1k@6:35), two minutes rest between repeats, two mile warm up and two mile warm down.
Route was south down Lakeview, right onto Sandy Hook which curves around and crosses Lakeview and eventually runs into Village Way, run down that and then right onto Lakeview towards the house and a little bit past it to reach 3k.
Paces for the three sets: 1. 7:05(2k), 6:36(1k), 2. 6:56(2k), 6:32(1k) 3.6:56(2k),6:27(1k)
Felt great to get this workout done. For a good portion of Monday, legs were feeling a little tired from Sunday's 20 mile run and was considering switching around the schedule this week and pushing today's run out another day but felt good enough to try when I woke up.
Next week's Tuesday run is "only" 5x1k. Will be less than two weeks from the marathon. Just far enough out to still have some training effect
