5m on the Treadmill - Repeats

5 miles at 7.97 min pace w/ avg HR of 165

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was on the treadmill so my speed was precisely controlled. Basically I started out with a 1 mile warmup at around 8.82 pace, then ran 3 1 mile repeats at 7.40 pace, with a 1.50 min breaks in between at 8.82 pace. I finished up with about .65 mile at progressively slower pace, finishing up at around 9 min miles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a difficult run for me. The combination of the boredom of the treadmill, with the loooong repeat at a relatively fast pace caused me to really struggle and really want it end.

Dunno if it's just training fatigue or what but I'm pretty much ready for the race to get here.
