Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

2 mile warmup and then 3 x 2 miles @10k pace.  My goal was not to run this all out but to hit around 13:45 for each set.  I did the same loop three times and started each first mile on a gradual incline.  I am always trying to figure out negative split pacing and this seemed like a good idea (6:56, 6:41), (6:55, 6:38), (6:46, 6:37).  I did a full mile rest inbetween each set which is probably way too much but it kept things consistant.  I must not have slowed down too much for the rest periods because my overall pace for the run was 7:26

Considering I did not feel like running at all this morning this turned out to be a pretty good workout.

PM:  my 4:30 meeting got cancelled today so I took it as a sign I should probably go running.  4.5 miles easy.  hot!  Legs were toast, 8:15 pace.  Felt much slower than that.

Hey it sounds totally consistent like you said. And your pick ups look solid. No worries on that avg :)

That would be a very difficult workout to do at half marathon pace, not to mention 10k pace. Great job this morning! Are you racing anything before UVM?

Great (negative) splits. That's the way to do it!

Yes I am racing a 10k on Memorial Day. :)

And thanks Jake I feel like I am getting better at pacing which is exciting to me.

Great workout! 3x2 mile @ 10k pace is tough.
