i had 5 miles on my schedule. it was supposed to be 1 easy mile, 3 tempo miles (at 8.24/mile) and another easy mile. i was at work late and really wanted to run so i was debating on swapping today's and tomorrow's runs. tomorrows is supposed to be 4 easy pace mile (about 10 min miles). however, i have a meeting tomorrow night and wasn't sure if i would get a run in and didn't want to be doing speedwork on friday, the day before my long run of the week, if everything goes as planned. so i decided i would cut the 2 easy miles off both ends of this run and just do the tempo part of the run. i started out ok but my legs were tired and i couldn't keep it up. here are the times:
.5= 4.06 158
1.0= 4.24 8.31 173
1.5= 4.42 13.13 174
2.0= 4.34 17.48 173
2.5= 4.31 22.19 173
3.0= 4.42 27.01 174
my pace was just a hair over 9min/mile, that is actually one of my fastest 3 miles in a long time, if not ever. i need to get it down to 18 min and i will be happy.
