I wanted to do a 3 mile tempo this morning so I ran the BYU farm loop and out to GU corner. I started out with a mile warm up at around a 9:00 pace and then the tempo went like this,
1. 7:12(156) felt good and in control
2. 7:03(158) a little down hill but mostly flat, still feeling good...
3. 7:12(161) Mile up to GU corner and is up hill gradually, I was feeling it on this one.
I then did a 4 mile cool down at just under a 8:20 mile average pace, for some reason my last mile I speed up to an 8:03 pace so I am counting that as a marathon pace mile as well. I felt really good on the cool down, almost like I could have kept going at an 8:20 pace for awhile.. I would like to eventually lengthen this tempo run to about 6 miles as I get further into my training for St George...
I also did my standard lower body weight training, and core training worth about 25minutes, using the rubber ball and alternating between that and the push-ups. My average pace was 7:57 with my heart rate at 148 total time was 1:04:04, I feel pretty good about this and I hope to improve as I get a little stronger.
See ya tomorrow.
