Ran the PHSC 5K this morning. Went into it thinking I had a shot at sub 16, so planned on pacing through mile 1 in 5:05 and then just try to hang on to that. Warmed up 3 miles and did some strides, which felt kind of flat... Oh well, just see what happens when the race starts. Anyways, stuck to the plan with mile 1 coming in about 5:05ish. Could see the clock after passing the halfway point and it read 8:00, but figured it wasn't happening as I had already fallen off pace. Came through 2 miles in about 10:25, and the last 1.1 was a 5:25ish pace. Finished in 16:25. No sub 16 today but at least I didn't totally blow up to a 17:00+ Cooled down for 3 more miles after.

I think working on speed more would definitely help, as my tempos indicated I could've done it. Getting my interval work of 800s-1600s in the 4:50-5:00 pace range would be ideal. Probably will be a while though until I can give a 5K another shot with Boston training starting in December.

Track workout: 2 sets of (1600, 1200, 800, 400) with 600m jogging recovery after the 1600s and 400m after everything else.

Set 1: 5:08, 3:50, 2:31, 69

Set 2: 5:10, 3:52, 2:33, 68

Felt pretty good on the first set, okay on the second set. Some shin tightness on the second 1600, which messed up my landing a little, so couldn't quite keep form together towards the end of that rep.

Tempo workout: 3 x 2 miles with 2:00 jog in between targeting half marathon goal pace. Didn't have as much trouble getting on pace as I usually do.

11:14 (5:39-5:35)

11:03 (5:32-5:31)

11:02 (5:33-5:29)

It was nice to hit low 5:30s for a good part of the workout, that is some good progress right there. Still some shin pain/tightness that feels like it can mess up my landing, so I was worried my form was going to break on the last rep, but fortunetly held it together.
