Total Distance
9.00

9 miles with 3/4 mile repeats: warmed up my usual loop with drills and strides and did 5 x 3/4 mile repeats on the road with 1/4 mile jogs between each one. Goal was 3:48. I finally got to do a workout in good weather and it made a big difference. It was low 60s and dry and it felt awesome. Splits were 3:42, 3:44, 3:46, 3:44, 3:47. This was a little fast but I felt good so I'll take it. Big jump in pace for me.

Funny how not running in a hot oven can really make it easier/faster! :-)

Very nice workout Derek. You gotta love running all your reps faster than your planned avg.
