Goal was to run slow enough that the breathing always felt under control and to just keep moving forward. Glad to be done!

good tempo run 5 mi
1x2mile, 2x1 miles @ 9:13 pace. Took ~ 5 min recovery between each. Hardest part was all the sweating. Freakin' humid in my basement - realized the dehumidifier hadn't been emptied :-/

good Time Trials 5 mi
1 mile - 7:50
400 m - 1:36
800m - 3:36
All on treadmill, so as accurate as can be expected. Still, I am definitely getting faster. Must be doing something right!
Definitely maxed out though, trie... read more-
Hoping this will translate into faster long distance races. Race times predictors seem very accurate for the shorter--middle distances, but definitely underestimate my sprint pace and seem to overestimate 10k + pace

Holy moly hot long run from hell 6.66 mi 01:08 10:16 pace
Ran the first four miles MUCH faster (9:45 pace) than the last two (~11min/mile pace). Stopped a bunch to cool off. So hot out there. I think I'm melting.

I know right? My legs are so tired now, with back to back hard runs (400m repeats yesterday) -- normally 7 miles isn't that hard, but today it was.

blah 2.37 mi
Warm and very humid. Walked a good bit of it today - legs are still tired and I'm not used to the humidity yet. Good to take it easy once in a while, right?
Nice work April!!
