Tried doing my usual Monday treadmill interval workout outside in the nice weather. Thought I felt good at the start but it was quickly obvious I didn't have it going today. I guess (hope?) between the weekend flu and running long on Monday I had no gas in the tank. Ended up averaging about 15 sec/mile slower on my interval pace compared to what I had been doing.

Hopefully next week will be better.

My guess is that you would benefit more from 3-5 mile tempo runs at 7:00 pace than from intervals at this point. Also less potential for injury.

Let me know when you're scheduling a 3-5 mile (preferably 3) tempo run at 7:00 pace (or slightly slower). I'd like to join you and see how I hold up.

I was thinking of trying doing 3 miles next Monday (or Wednesday) down the Kuhni road at around 7:00 pace. I have also been trying to do 4-5 mile tempo runs the past few weeks (usually Wed) around 7:15-7:30 pace. Since these tempo runs have felt harder than they should have (of course it has been on treadmill so maybe that has something to do with it) I'm not interested in trying more than 3 miles at this point. I would also like to do the Eagle View run with you guys on Monday or Wednesday, I miss the hills a bit. So maybe we can think about 1 hill run and 1 tempo (3-5 mile, 7:00 pace) during the week. Last year I worked up to doing 4 or 5 repeats up the steepest part of Eagle view and felt like it helped me out prepping me for later in the year. At any rate I think I'm willing to take Sasha's advice and hold off on the 6:00-6:30 intervals for a while. I think my hamstrings will thank me.
