Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
10.00	0.00	4.00	0.00	14.00

AM:

tempo run

2 miles @ easy worm up

1 miles @ 8:34 easing into tempo pace

4 miles @ 6:54, 6:57, 6:51, 6:52. total 27:34.

3 @ easy

I was dreading this tempo but it turned out ok. My body was so tight and not wanting to run during worm up I almost called it a quit but after mile 3 8 min mile felt extra easy so I went for it.

PM:

4 faster than easy because I just couldnt run slow around 8:00 min to 7:30 pace.

i understand what you mean on the PM run. i have a tough time with tempo mentality but i notice it usually gives my easy pace a boost.

Dude, seriously. Race something. Your race reports says you haven't raced since 2016. It's time. You are so ready to PR!

absolutely nothing wrong with not racing since 2016... i hear it adds character :-)

Eugene its crazy how after running hard in the am you think you should be slow and tired in the pm but the opposite is always true. Thanks about the character comment lol what brings to racing:

Tom you are right I need to get my behind out there racing again if ever want to get to 50 state. I did not realize it until you just mention it it over 3 years. MY issue is I like the slow and long build up and I loose my mind during taper.
