Week minus 7 - Intervals (8.17 miles)

Garmin Link
1.5 mile warm-up
6 X 1200m @4:55 (4:57 actual) 3 min. RI
1.5 mile cooldown

I was happily surprised to see that today's speed intervals averaged only a hair over the target (4:57 vs 4:55 - or 6:40min/mi). Usually the speed runs are hardest for me, so maybe that is good sign for the rest of the week. Legs were hurting significantly, but I don't feel it so much when moving fast.

Wednesday's run may be challenging (1 mile easy, 10 miles @8:00/mile). But I've got to get back to that sustained 8:00 pace for long runs pretty quickly if I have any hope of doing it for the marathon.

Looks like a pretty good workout.
