59F. Man I love cool weather. The workout today was 5 x 1 mile at 10K pace, with a quarter mile recovery inbetween (worked out to 2-minute recoveries). I wanted to test out 6:30 as a 10K pace because I wasn't really sure where I was at, fitness-wise.
First, 8 warmup miles, AP 8:00 on the nose.
Then the repeats were 6:31, 6:29, 6:28, 6:30, 5:51.
That last one isn't even a typo! 6:30 wasn't challenging me too much (did I just say that?) so I put the pedal down for the last repeat. I was actually in the 5:40s most of the way but met up with my biggest hill with about a quarter mile to go and could not keep the pace uphill.
Finished with an 8:27 cooldown mile, for an overall AP of 7:29.
I think I will have a legit shot at sub-40 in a couple weeks if the weather is like this. |
