Morning- Nice and easy 3 miles this morning. I was pretty tired this morning.
Afternoon- 1.5ish mile warm up. 3x2 mile tempo sets today on the region course. It was a progressive tempo. So each one got faster, and the 2nd mile on each one was supposed to be faster. I did arlight on the 1st one, miles were 6:28, and 6:14. 5 minute recovery between each one. It was super humid, and hot today. But the 2nd set I couldn't get myself going. First mile was 6:20, and the last one mile on this one was not solid, but 6:21. I fell of pace a lot on this one. And the last one, I just said,"go for it!". So I did. I really tried my best on this one, and hit 6:18 on 1st mile, and the 2nd mile coach ran with me, and got me going a little. And I surprisingly surged with him everytime he went faster. And the pace got faster, and faster, and faster. And I made a move with 300 meters to go, and pushed it in hard with a 5:59.58! :D That sub six made me pretty happy on that grass, and on the last set, and the last mile! I then watched the race, and some great races that came from PV today! But I ended up doing around a 3 mile cool down to get mileage in. Good work out for sure! It is building confidence! :)
