Indoor Tempo Attempt

January 12, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Inside

The plan was to do a 2 mile warm-up on the track, 4 mile tempo at 6 min. pace on the treadmill, and cooldown on the track. All the treadmills were still full after the warm-up so I did the workout on a 200m track. It was a bit annoying to be turning left in the equivalent of lane 2 of Veale for 6 total miles, but it turned out ok. Checked my pace after 1 lap hoping for 45 but it was a 40 instead. Managed to slow the pace from that, but not enough. It ended up being too fast for a tempo. I would estimate this a 10k pace though b/c I definitely could have kept this up for more. That means I would have had a really nice 8k PR if I kept going. I am feeling like I am in really good shape. I just need to start including a long run each week.

Increased or maintained the pace each mile.
