I did hill repeats, sort of. To the west of my home, there is a loop that is about 1.25 miles around (I think), so I went around it a few times, alternating 3:00 hard with 1:00 easy. I did 8 of those. Some of the repeats were uphill, some were downhill, some were mixed. The average on the repeats was about 6:20-6:30 pace. The overall average was 7:30 pace.

It was a good workout, and I'm glad I got outside to do it. But I just can't seem to break through lately to where I want to be. I feel like I've hit a wall. But hopefully this speedwork will help as I continue doing it. I think I also have to break through mentally, and the speedwork should help with that, too.

That seems pretty fast to me. Where do you want to be at?

My goal is to run 6:00 pace in workouts like this. It would just look so cool to put 5:59 or better on my blog, eh?
