My run today was 5 miles with speedwork. I decided to make it a 3 mile tempo run, aiming for 8:10/miles. My splits were:
8:10 (go perfectionist!)
8:24 (it was mostly uphill)
8:05
While, overall, it was slower than I wanted, I'll take the 8:13 average pace. This was my first attempt at running fast in the month since the Baltimore 10 Miler. The humidity was also over 90% at 6:30 this morning, which doesn't help at all. I breathe heavy on even my easiest runs when it's that humid.
Regardless, I have major improvements to make if I'm going to be running 8:20s for 26.2 miles.
