I really liked this workout today. 10k with a 1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down. The base has a definite 5k route they use for all of the base 5ks. Might as well use this course because I know it very well. Ran it reverse the second time. My goal was to hit each 5k somewhere between 21-23 minutes. This workout made me a little nervous to see what I can do.
1.2 miles of warm up
5k- 22:24
Drink
5k- 21:37!!
Drink and cool down home.
I can't lie and say I didn't stop, because I did and I stopped my watch. The stops were not longer than 10 seconds, so I thought it was ok. I have a great Thursday speed work out! It was hard but my body felt really good doing this. Gave me a boost of confidence to run 6 miles around 7 AP. I also found out that I like the reverse of the 5k route better than the way they always put it on.
