9.51 miles (08:33/mile)


Workout session in Gold Park with Martin Wileman, Laura Maile, and Sara Mizelle. 15 minutes warmup, 4 x 10 minutes tempo and 4 minutes recovery, 15 minutes cooldown.

The cooldown was shorter than intended, but everything else was complete. Coffee was the reason...

Programmed the paces into the workout, but totally ignored them during. The “on” pace run was faster than the program, but the recovery were slower, so it all balanced out? Perhaps this needs some work.

Looking at the analysis, was in Tempo for only 7 minutes, but in Threshold for 30 of the 40 “on” minutes. Fortunately, both my tempo and threshold need improvement.

The workout was interesting...was expecting a track type, but instead ran a longer than a typical track run, much more of a tempo. Had I asked ahead of time, I am certain one of the others would have told me, but isn't that half the fun, not knowing how the run is going to affect your breathing, heart rate, body...?
