Finally got my tempo in today.
3 mile warm up, 6 miles tempo @ goal HMP, 2 miles cool down.
40:18, 6:43 average pace
Legs felt really great. Breathing was in control, felt relaxed, and feeling confident for my half marathon as this pace felt extremely comfortable. The good thing about feeling crappy for quite a few days is that when you finally get out of your crap slump, you feel awesome.
We are heading out this weekend to my parents lake house for a quick get-away. Off to pack.

ReplyDeleteYou are wicked fast! I think I might be more excited to see how you do at Chicago than myself! :)
ReplyDelete"crap slumps" are good because they give your body a little time to rest up and build up.
ReplyDeleteFast tempo, nice work!!
Yeahhhh girl!! Way to run that! Eat a s'more for me!

ReplyDeleteBritt!! That is a fabulous tempo run. I need to learn to do tempo runs better, i don't think it helps that I have such big hills all around me. Do you pick a flat course for your tempo or do you have hills. You are going to do so awesome!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend trip!!!!

ReplyDeleteVery consistent pacing and a strong finishing mile (9). Perfect tempo weather too. Were you tempted to turn it into a 10k?
ReplyDeleteGlad to know your Garmin works again, nice having that Michigan Ave store nearby. Reminds me that I need to update my Forerunner and GPS for the car sometime.
