Today we did two 2 mile tempo runs. It was essentially a four mile tempo run, because we only had about 45-60 seconds between them. On the first one, I just stayed with the pack the whole time. We were all together within three seconds. I did a 10:07. It felt pretty good, and wasn't too hard. The top group of nine actually only did a 10:10, their first mile was really slow. On the second one, I was feeling pretty good, so I started out near the front of the pack. (Maybe fifth out of thirteen or so) They started out really fast, and I should have hung back a little bit. I think I was at 2:22 at the half mile. I came through the mile in 4:47, but I think it was off a little bit. My garmin had the mile at 4:54, so it was probably around 4:50. Like I said, I should have started out slower, and I fell back a little bit. Trevor and Neal caught me, and I stayed with them for a while, but they pulled away a little but at the end. I ended up at 9:59, and Neal was 9:49, Trevor 9:51. The top guys in my group were in the 9:30's. It was an okay workout, but I could have run better if I didn't start out so fast. |
