Warmups then 2 laps of warmup and straight into a 60%. 3 laps on the track then up to Home Depot like we do for 80%. Range for 60% is 6:15-6:45, but I knew going in that it would probably be slower because of all of the uphill. Worked hard, didn't really pay attention to pace while running but my watch got the splits. First mile a bit fast at 6:01 (3 laps on the track then .25 uphill), then settled into comfortable pace. 13:10 (7:09), 20:16 (7:06). Averages out at 6:52 pace. So, overall at least, I wasn't too far off pace which is good considering it's pretty much all uphill. Also, my time for the first 80% was 20:06, and today with a 60% I felt much more relaxed than I did then, and only got 10 seconds slower. So hooray for improvement! Did some hills afterwards, long ones about 300m. After 2 my hamstring wasn't having it so coach sent me on cool down back to the track.
Ice and STEM after.
