S6H.

AM @ YMCA: Warm up & down 2 miles.

Ran 3 miles @7:16" pace (PR).

Legs=90-91%; Heart=93-95%; Mind=95-98%.

Tough but great work out. First 1/2 mile was pretty hard mentally. Next 1 1/2 mile was controlled hard effort. Last 1/2 mile heart rate went up higher 94-95%?). Breathing was not out of control yet but it was pretty hard. Still had some energy left at the end. Could have run the last lap at 6:00" pace if want to.

PM: T=81 degrees. Easy run.

Warm up & down 3 miles easy.

Ran 3x1 miles with Paul @ AVG 8:00" pace.

Felt great. Knee OK.

Good work! You got both the distance and tempo in. Keep it up.

You probably need a couple of easy days - 6 -8 miles of jogging before the next hard workout. Another tempo run like this on Thursday might be a good idea if you feel recovered. On Saturday, warm up 2 miles, then go 8 at about 7:50 pace, and then cool down 2 miles.

The 3 mile tempo runs are more of a threshhold pace than a marathon pace.
