Today I decided to change my routine a little by reducing the speed (from 5:40 to 6:00 pace) and increasing the number of repetitions (from 3 to 5). Last year, I could do 3 x 1mi @ 10mph, so I wanted to try doing 4 or 5 of those, and it worked! :) Third rep was a pain with first 0.3mi uphill with slight headwind; last one was all downhill so I tried to go harder.
Splits: 7:35, 5:59, 8:05, 5:56, 8:00, 6:03, 8:20, 5:58, 8:30, 5:38, 1:52 (8:37) |
