5:22pm:  I ran 7.01 miles.  Done at the HHS track.  Done in 1:03:13 @ 9:01/mile

Scheduled:

10-20 minute warm-up

2x (6 x ΒΌ mile) (1:30 RI)

(2:30 RI between sets)

10 minute cool-down

 

The goal was to run the 12 quarters @ 1:54 per quarter.  I did better than that.  8 of the 12 were done @ 1:52-1:53.  This is amazingly consistent.  I was not looking at the splits while running; simply going by feel and attempting to run at what felt like 5K pace.  

 

Of note, the cool-down was done @ 9:03/mile compared to the warm-up done at 9:30 mile!

 

A+ workout.

Very solid run Pre! You obviously handled the quarter mile repeats very well. The 1:48 was awesome and you finished strong too, way to go!

As far as the 305 goes, I love the features and don't mind the size. For whatever reason, it takes around 5 minutes to grab a satellite where I live. Not a huge deal I know, just annoying at times.

ACorn,

Thanks. I hear you regarding the 305. I once was at the start of a race, and needed to wait for all the runners to cross the start as my 305 was still searching for a satellite.
