Mile repeats today at 1% incline!!! : )

I warmed up for 1 mile at 8:00.

Then 5x1 mile. First 4 at 6:15. Last one at 6:05

Half mile recoveries at 12:00 pace

Then cooled down for another mile at 8:00

Run felt great. I'm excited to go for 6 repeats next week and then start to bring down the speed.

What? "bring down the speed" that is fast as it is! I would love to just watch you on the treadmill, I picture you looking like the cartoons - with your legs all blurry because you are so fast.

I'd say you are BACK!!! Great job.

Awesome job Rhett. How is your leg turn over at those speeds?? Do you feel you are speeding up your turn over rate more or just lengthing out your strides?

Great job Rhett. Sounds to me like your injury is gone. D0 you feel 100%?

Mark, funny you should ask. I counted this morning and it was at 190. When I'm at marathon pace I am usually around 180. I guess that makes sense that it would be faster at a faster pace.

Who does a warm up mile at an 8:00 pace??? Oh yeah, that's right ... YOU DO!!!

AWESOME run!!!!

LOL that is funny. So what is your MP?? Your right around 7:00 aren't you?? Awesome job man. You really are coming back well. Keep listening to your body and I can't wait to see what you do at Painter's.
