Today we did our normal warmup of 2 laps, stretching and drills. Then we ran to Liberty. We went the long way to the fountain, then to the start from there. We did 4 strides and started.
We did a 4 mile tempo. The pace was your 800 PR doubled, add 12 seconds (your mile split should be this) then multiplied by 4, that would be your time for the whole tempo. Which meant my pace was 6:18, finish with 25:12. My first mile was 6:04, then 12:30. My third split I didn't know. I stuck with Guillermo, when I felt him slowing down I encouraged him to keep up the pace and I think it made it easier for both of us. When he stopped at the 3 mile it got harder. But I started to pick it up, I felt like I was going to be slow. We should've worked a little harder on the 2nd mile and first part of 3rd. When I had about .5 left Bill joined me (he was telling times to the 2 mile tempo people). He told me my time, 25:50 exact. So I was slow. I felt good today, I feel like it was a good workout. I think this was the workout in a long time that I've felt alright :)
We went back up to the track the long way to get to 10.
