Interesting run tonight. It was supposed to be an easy/GA type of run -- just get out and pile up some miles. Jogged up the hill into the park, turned left and set out on what felt like a comfortable pace. First streetlight I reached, I looked at the Garmin, and it said I was at GMP lap pace. I said, hmm, this feels good, let's try to maintain it. I did more than maintain -- I got faster. Mile 2, 7:73. Mile 3, 7:40, Mile 4, 7:23, Mile 4.9, 7:17. Finished 4.9 in 38:57, sub 8 average pace even with the 9:22 warmup mile. I was supposed to do 3 X 1600 intervals later in the week, but this may take their place. I'll see how I feel on Wednesday. |
