Tonight’s tempo track workout:
2 miles warm up
2 x 6 min at 5k pace with 4 min active recovery between sets
1 mile cool down
***I set off tonight with Meghan and Marti from the Sehome HS parking lot to the WWU track. They were each doing mile repeats, so I was on my own once we got there. I started right away. We had a huge headwind on one side of the track, which meant a tailwind (I think) on the other. 😉
After I finished my run, I checked my split times for each 6 minute set. I was so thrilled with my times:
1st – 6 min tempo: 6:49
and
2nd – 6 min tempo: 6:53
Total mileage: 5.35 ~~~ Total time: 45:29:02 ~~~ Average pace: 8:30
VEGAS in 12 DAYS!!

Is it just me? I hope that’s 6:49 and 6:53/mile. Otherwise you ran 6 minutes in 6 minutes and 49 seconds. And that doesn’t sound fast at all. I have a personal goal to run 10 minutes in 9:30 as I could reduce my workout time. Haven’t cracked that one yet.
Sorry! Sometimes I can’t resist.
Lol Tom!! It was my pace per mile for those sets. 😉
Then you should be proud. That’s not hanging around! Bring on Vegas.
