Total Distance
16.45

16.45 miles with 7.5 miles then straight into 3 x 2 miles with 1 mile jog between. Goal was to be comfortably hard and not go too slow on the recovery jog. Actual was a little bit harder than comfortably hard but times were fast and I was right where I wanted to be for the jogs. Splits were 11:17, 7:10, 11:10, 7:00 11:03. The first one actually seemed the toughest because my body had to adjust from 6:40 pace to 5:40 pace in an instant. Good workout today and a nice back to back this weekend.

Nice workout Derek. You seem poised for a comfortable and fast year. Great job on the PHX Half too.
