My 10k PR is 46:26, which is a 7:29 pace, and my target tempo pace for today was a 7:21 pace. I had tossed around the idea of running a 10k race this weekend, but decided that I didn’t want to reduce my miles enough to make a strong showing at the race.
- 1 mile w/u – 9:35
- 10k split – 45:14 (7:17 pace)
- 0.78 mile [rest of the 7 mile tempo] in 5:25 (6:57 pace)
- 1 mile c/d – 9:26
It was a fun little exercise, and I’m happy that I have my legs back under me after having a rocky week of workouts last week.

I decided to add to that a nice bulky jogging stroller......
- 8 miles -- 6 mile tempo in 43:05 (finish @ sub 7 pace) #running #twit2fit Progressive tempo, 6 miles. Started at 7:24 pace, finished at 6:58 pace, with a 6:28 pace kick the last 0.2 miles of the tempo. Didn't feel good going into the run (sinus infection, headache). Don't try this at home, kids. Only an insane man would do a hard workout when......
