Tell the chef to stay home ‘cause I’m COOKIN’!!!! I am very happy with this run and it looks like my new GT-2120s will be good to me. My right ham and hip flexor are still out whack, but getting better and hanging in there.
The objective of today’s run was to do a progressive tempo where each successive miles becomes faster. I accomplished this quite well, and felt like I had a good workout by the end of it. I actually surprised myself since a) this wasn’t a time trial so I wasn’t really trying to run fast, and b) it has been a while since I broke 44:00 in a 5 miler.
RUN ANALYSIS:
5 miles in 43:58, 8:45 min per mile @ 6.82 mph; Out and back splits – 23:11, 20:47 (wow…I was blazing by my standards on the way back); mile by mile (9:28, 9:22, 8:33, 8:32, 8:03).
RUN HISTORY:
This is my best time this year on this route. My PR on this route is 43:44; in November 2005. I think if I was trying for time, I probably could have knocked a couple seconds off that today…
RUN PROJECTION:
According to http://www.runningforfitness.org, I should be capable of 4:15 in a marathon…so I need to do some pace runs at 9:44 (6.16 mph).
