Big sand dunes with Tess, nice and easy pace, enjoyed the sunshine = 1 hour 48 mins
TUE 6th
location Hillside 5K loop
20 mins at 1/2 marathon pace, followed by 10 x 45 secs at 10 K pace. plus 6 x smart strides.
Running into a stormy wind I found the going tough, but things improved as I turned around at half way.
now with the wind on my back i made good progress, finishing with 20 mins at 6.03 pace.
a short jog then 10 x 45 sec, up and down a gradual hill. after the first effort I got stronger and stronger, felt really good.
I always find the tempo runs hard work, without the adrenaline of a race even Marathon pace can feel tough to hold. Made it through = 59 mins
Mon 5th
8 x 5 mins [ 3 mins MP pace-1 min 10k pace 5.44- 1 min recovery]
Average pace including rec = 6.30 pace.
Total time inc warm up-down =57 mins

You're rocking, Rick. Cool off those shoes. :)
and thanks for the shout-out. :)
What is very good, cxklipy?
Good workout Rick. I often find the tempo sessions hard to maintain outside a race. Last night was supposed to include four miles at half-marathon pace but only the last two were at the target pace. The first two were into a very stiff breeze but my HR never got above 160 for the four HMP miles.
Wes yeah i'm glad I'm not the only one that finds these tempo runs hard !
