Today was my tempo run. Warmed up with an easy mile, then started the tempo - 4 miles at 7:30 pace or better. First mile was 7:17, second mile 7:10, third mile 7:08, fourth mile 7:07. Cooled down with an easy mile at the end, for a total of 6 miles. I definitely could have sustained the pace for another couple of miles at least, but I am really shooting for between 7:20-7:30/mile. I am going to try very hard to get in at least a few miles tomorrow morning before we leave - we will have to see how that goes. I may be able to get in a few miles once we get up as well, and I will try to get in a couple miles during the trip as well. |
