The final tempo run of the training cycle today. Wasn't sure if my legs would be completely recovered from Saturday so it was a run time decision about whether or not to run this tempo today. Everything felt good this morning so I went ahead and kicked it up after the first warm-up mile. Here are the splits: 6:43, 6:47, 6:40 and I continued the pace for an extra .1 miles just so I could call it a 5K. I think my time would have come out to be right around 20:45 or something which is a PR for me. So I guess that means that my tempo pace is probably a little bit fast since it should be closer to my 15K pace. Oh well, it was a great work out. Cooled off with one more mile and got done way earlier than normal today. Spent the extra time stretching and cooling off. Temp was 53 today which is warmer than yesterday but it was cloudy and it must be the calm before the storm that is on its way.
Time: 36:37 7:19/mile |
