Ran with the Ogden group today. This workout was Riley's idea. The plan was to warm up 3 miles then go 5 at 6:00 minute pace, then 5 at 5:40 pace, then Riley's plan was to get progressively faster for each of the next 5 miles, my plan at that point was to just try and stay under 6:00 minute pace. I ran with Riley for the first 11 of the hard miles. We averaged 5:54 for the first 5 then 5:33 for the next 5. The next 4 miles were 5:30, 5:34, 5:31, and 5:35. Luckily Riley stopped and waited for me at that point and didn't mile of the fast stuff. I was ready to call it quits at that point. We finished with 3.45 miles of cool down. The cool down was torture I was in so much pain. But, it was a really good workout and I'm still enjoying the progress I am making.
