Noon - 4.0 miles @ 7:18 pace - 29:15

The temperature wasn't to bad but it did seem a bit humid (for Utah). 

6:00 pm - 4.35 miles @ 7:10 pace - 31:17

I did do a pickup at the very end (the last 1166 ft of my measured course) to see what my stride length and race is at an accelerated pace.

 - At 5:42 pace my stride rate is 180strides/minute and my stride length is 5.13 ft or 1.56 meters.

Thanks as always allie. Maybe we can get in a sub 18 minute 5k this fall. I think I am close.

Your stride length is longer than I am tall.
