Nobody cares, run harder

12 miles, 7:10 pace

10 miles + strides. 7:19 pace

10 miles with 6x800 pacing Jacki. 7:14 overall average.

Decided on doing a short tempo to start getting back into workouts. Planned on doing 4 miles tempo and wanted to see if I could hit 5:30 pace without going to hard. First mile was 5:36 then the last three were 5:30, 5:30, 5:29. Halfway into it I decided to at least get to 20 minutes but that turned out to be almost 4 miles when I hit that mark so I decided to just get to 4 miles. 5:30 pace is definitely a little bit of a stretch for tempo, not quite at that level yet. Need to stick to the 5:35-5:40 range still.

10 miles, 5 in the 6:30-6:40 range pacing Jacki.

10 miles + strides. 7:26 pace

18 miles with a marathon paced tempo thrown in at the end. Started easy for the first 12 and then dropped the pace for the last 6.

Last 6 miles: 6:01, 5:58, 5:58, 5:57, 5:54, 5:49

Wished it would've felt a little smoother, stride felt kind of choppy during the whole thing. Felt alright aerobically, breathing never got too hard, though the heart rate started climbling at the end, so I'm not where I need to be right now. Not worried about it though, plenty of time to improve on this.
