Today we are started to focus on getting some speed. We did a 2 mile warmup around McDonalds loop, and then we got back on the track. Our workout was 1 mile at your 10K pace and then another mile, but every 400 was progressivley faster so on your last lap it is was an all out sprint. I ran the 10K pace and ran my mile in 5:45. Then on the last mile I ran it in 5:10. It was actually a pretty good workout. I didn't think it was going to be, but it was. After that, I ran a 1 mile cool down on the track, and then a barefoot mile. I was at 7.3 for milage and I couldn't finish until i got 8, so I ran 3 more laps on the track. I think this week I am going to try to run 60-65 miles so I am gonna go atleast 4 miles tonight. I am going to run in the heat of the day too. That should help me handle the heat better when the season comes around.
pm run: 4 miles. It was really hot. My avg. mile pace was 6:48. Calves are sore from the run earlier this morning.
