73F, 70%.  7:06 AP.  Went to the track today with the intent of doing 5 x 1200, but I got there and half the track was ripped up - they were doing construction!  Well, this week was long intervals, so I decided I'd switch it to 4 x 1 mile, 2 minute recoveries, and just do it on the roads with Garmin.  I felt good today, and did some pretty good repeats.  Average was 6:08, exactly the same as last time I did this, but that was on the track, and these were on the roads.  3 of the 4 were net uphill - nothing dramatic, as you can see below, but definitely tougher than doing them on the track.

6:12   +14 ft

6:12   +27 ft

5:56   -28 ft

6:11   +23 ft

The last repeat was probably the best - it came out to only 23 ft net uphill on Garmin Connect but I don't believe the map data on that one...seemed like a lot more!  Either way, it redeemed me from Wednesday's tempo.

NICE speed and miles! Looks like the warm weather isn't holding you back any.

The hotter it gets the faster he runs. That's his way of getting out of the heat.

Nice job! Come to think of it, I have never done mile repeats on a track, nothing further than 1200m actually. I think it's great practice to run the longer intervals on roads - just like a local 5k or 10k race would be.
