7.26@7:42 HR 150 bpm
Garmin suggested workout 2 x 15 min @7:15 pace, ok why not. Feeling completely back to normal. Run on Starkey Blvd bike trail and partially into Starkey Ranch. As I got started on the first repeat, I was a little slower than suggested pace for about the first 0.4 miles, then slowly got a little faster than suggested pace and seemed to hold it ok.
The last tempo run I did was in Westlake Village which has rolling small hills everywhere which help me accelerate and not have that flat leg feeling. Starkey is much flatter, but there's a little section of Starkey Ranch trail with a couple of very small hills but just enough to help.
Second set went a little faster but I was also pushing harder. Average pace for both was around what I did for the 6.2 mile tempo run, so part of me was why couldn't I go faster on shorter intervals? But other part of me was glad I still got it done and stayed a little ahead of pace without struggling or overdoing it, that vague sounding "comfortably hard".
Repeat paces: 7:05, 6:58
So, that 6:58 is really nice to see
