8 miles at 8.43 pace w/ avg HR of 171
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1st mile in 8.62 @ 150 - Warmup mile. Probably a little too fast.
2nd mile in 7.97 @ 175 - First tempo run @ 10k pace. Looks like I did a pretty good job of guesstimating my pace just by feel. 7.97 would give me a 49.41 10k.
3rd mile in 8.92 @ 168 - Recovery mile.
4th mile in 7.85 @ 178 - Another good job at estimating my 10k pace.
5th mile in 8.08 @ 180 - Fell off a little here, but it was the second half of a 2 mile tempo and the overall average is still within 10k pace. Plus there were some pretty good headwinds.
6th mile in 8.98 @ 171 - Recovery mile.
7th mile in 7.90 @ 179 - Another pretty good 10k pace mile.
8th mile in 9.15 @ 173 - Cooldown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a good tempo run session. I pretty much achieved my goals and I wasn't completely exhausted at the end. Within an hour of getting home, eating dinner, etc, I felt completely fine.
Those tempo intervals were pretty tough though, much tougher than previous ones run on the treadmill. I'm glad I did this one outside, but it makes me wonder about maintaining that pace for 6.2 straight miles. Here's hoping that the adrenaline from the race event itself will offset that.
