Run: 6.5 miles - Pace: 9:25/mi - Week: 11.43 miles - Total: 743.68 miles
Hard workout today. 9x400m intervals at 5K pace. Thanks to the Garmin, I was able to just do this outside. I ran a mile to a nice relatively flat area to do the 400m repeats and then got to work. It was nice that it told me when I needed to speed up or slow down, but it got on my nerves late in the workout as I had to strive harder. :)
Here are the paces per mile for the repeats, I went easy then hard:
#1 - 10:54, 7:41
#2 - 10:12, 7:30
#3 - 10:01, 7:41
#4 - 10:07, 7:44
#5 - 10:14, 7:29
#6 - 10:27, 7:33
#7 - 10:13, 7:37
#8 - 10:17, 7:41
#9 - 10:24, 7:29
What's remarkable is that those paces don't reflect how much harder the last 3 were compared to the first six. I probably shouldn't have jumped in with such a hard workout, so we'll see how I feel tomorrow. I used body glide on the toe, and it held up pretty well, though there was still some damage.
Boy, that was hard, but I love my Garmin.
