S7H.

T=55-50 degrees.

WU 1 mile, Drills. Knee OK after warming up.

3 X [3 min @10K pace, recover 3 min; 2 min @5K, recover 2 min; 1 min @ 1 mile, recover 1 min].

Ran with Joe and Peggy on the first two sets at faster than recommended 10K and 5K pace.

Ran last set with James, Mae, and Donnie at medium-hard to hard effort: 3 minutes at sub 6:30’ pace, 2 minutes at sub 6:00’ pace, and 1 minute at sub 5:00’ effort. Managed to keep up with the group thank to the long recovery time.

Wow...you guys are running fast!! I have been doing some speed work but only going to paces around 6:50 that I can maintain for 800 meters....You guys ran sub 5:00 paces for a minute? Feeling like I need to run some faster speeds when I do my speed work. Here I thought I was doing good :0

Awesome Tam!!

Ethan,

Thanks. It's kind of fun running fast for a couple minutes but I know better. I may outsprint them but they could easily leave me in the dust any time in 1 mile or a Marathon by a wide margin.

I believe these work out are not nearly as important as the MGP and the long runs.
