Speed Tuesday

I did my scheduled speed work for the first time.

1 mile easy warm-up (~ 9:50m/m)

800 meters (1/2 mile) at 5K pace avg 7:29

400 meters (1/4 mile) easy (~10:00 m/m)

800 (1/2 mile) 5K avg 7:37


400 (1/4 mile) easy (~10:00 m/m)

800 (1/2 mile) 5K avg 7:47

Finish distance easy 1.5 miles (~10:00 m/m)

My garmin is set up for miles not kilometers, but 1/2 and quarter are close enough. I was fairly happy that I was able to keep it under 8 m/m, though the last quarter was 7:49. The first quarter mile at 5K pace was 7:01. I started out just a bit to fast.
