PM: track "wave" workout. Alternating 800s @ marathon pace then @ 10k pace, rinse and repeat and run consecutively for 5 miles. Ran solo for most of it. Fortunately weather was much more ideal than expected: middle 80s, partly cloudy. Entered it aiming for 3:10/2:45 alternating paces which are 6:20/5:30 mile paces. Splits: MP 1- 3:11 10k 1- 2:45 MP 2- 3:03 10k 2- 2:45 MP 3- 3:03 10k 3- 2:47 MP 4- 3:05 10k 4- 2:40 MP 5- 3:10 10k 5- 2:36 I definitely mis-estimated my initial paces, but it was nice to hit paces I don't usually run at and practice managing them. It was a spurt of the moment decision to do the workout anyway, so I'm not surprised at the mis-estimate. I should listen to my teammates more next time. |
