On the work TM before lunch, I did a 1.5 w/u followed by 5 x 1 mile, with 1/4 mile recoveries.  For the fast miles I did 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, and the last repeat was a combination of speeds that resulted in 1.25 miles in 7:09 (5:43 pace).  It felt easier than it should have today, which is why I just kept running harder on the last repeat (last half mile @ 11 mph).  A combination of rested legs and questionable TM calibration, I'm sure.  Still a good strong effort - didn't have the time to go long, so went fast.

Whew! Good paces on the repeats!

I am guessing that you ran the right effort, which is the important part. If makes you feel better I am sure Megan's apartment complex treadmills are way off but I did a 5-mile tempo 6:04 pace and ran a half marathon at true 5:56 pace about a month later.

You can milk anything with nipples.

I just read IJR's blog and say 9+ minute miles (recovery) and then I saw yours at 9.5. I thought for a second your 1st mile was 9:30. Great paces today Joe. You were movin on that last one!

Nice running Joe! RLRF

And Matt...No, my 9+ is not the same as joes 9.5 but you better not be making fun of me!
