7.15@7:52 HR 158 bpm
Plans were shifting on me, scheduled run called for 10 miles, 2 easy, 4 HMP, 2 easy. Needed to be done by 7:30 and was supposed to take little one to pre-school, so thought I'd maybe do the run after dropping her off. Turns out I couldn't drop her off as early as possible plus she had a bit of a runny nose so ended up staying home and waited for Jessica to come back from her morning errands. So now it was later and it didn't make sense to drive to Starkey Blvd and wasn't sure if the run would be a failure so opted for just getting in some miles in the neighborhood.
But then, I turn on my garmin and it says suggested workout 2 x 15 min @7:15 pace. That seemed doable and productive as well. So that's what I did and it turned out ok and I felt like I got something done running wise. In retrospect, I could have easily done this workout by 7:30 without having to run all of it in darkness.
Anyway, with this pace it's pretty much a 2 x 2 mile workout but it's timed so not quite, a little bit farther and going faster doesn't get you done any faster. With that said:
10 minute warmup
first 15 minutes in miles: 7:08, 7:12, 0.09@7:07
5 minute jog
next 15 mintues in miles: 7:07, 7:08, 0.10@6:34
10 minute cool down
Definitely feeling like there's been some fitness improvement recently.
