Warmup up for 10 minutes @ 8:27 pace
6 tempo miles at MP 7:35, 7:30, 7:30, 7:24, 7:24, 7:18
2 mile cooldown @ 8:06 pace
I felt like I could have gone farther and faster with the tempo run and believe me I really wanted to but I also know I will have a chance to in the next few weeks. There is no reason for me to push too hard too soon. That is the mistake I made with SGM. I was peaking in Sept and by Oct I was just plain burnt out and overtrained.
Plus I know I'll be running with a bunch of speed demons Sat so I need to preserve all the energy I can in prepration. :-)
PM: 3 miles easy 8:34 pace, and I got my pushups in. |
