So, I was wrong in my last post. Today, I had to do 2x1600m, not 3x1600m. You don’t know how relieved I was when I found out that mistake! =) Today’s run was tough, but not bad. It’s the fastest I’ve run, ever, and that’s pretty awesome! I did struggle a little bit, but I didn’t struggle as much as I thought I would. Here are my splits.
Warm up: 0.47 miles in 6:02
Split 1: 11:17
Split 2: 10:55 (helllllllll yeah!)
Total: 22:12
Average Pace: 11:06
Total mileage: 2.98 miles (including warm up and cool down)
Calories Burned: 338
Shoes: Asics Nimbus
I knew I would never have a chance of maintaining an 11:15 pace running the whole way through. I mean, I can’t even maintain an 11:45 pace consistently for my tempo runs! So, I broke these 1 mile sprints into 3 segments. I basically ran about 3 segments of about .3 mile at a 10:30 min/mile pace. After each .3 segment, I had a 30-45 second recovery period before jumping into another .3 segment at the same pace. This seemed to work out perfectly.
I’m going to toy around with changing up my intervals for my tempo on Friday. Hopefully, I’ll be able to hit my tempo pace for the first time =D
