Total Distance
7.00

pm--7 Some intervals today. Been reading up on some Igloi-style training, so we decided to run some time-based intervals to work on pace recognition and form. 6x 1-min. @ tempo and threshold pace (7:00-6:40), 2x (5x 30-sec. @ CV (6:20)), and 6x 1-min. @ threshold and tempo. The intervals never felt hard--often the equal recovery was when I noticed heavier breathing--but I felt fairly tired by the end. The kids did great. We have some girls pushing for better things. RHR--53.
