Did 5.2 in Logan canyon with the miniature team I'm training for the half marathon.
I decided to do a "rabbit" run where I started slower and caught up to the faster runners, so my miles looked like this:
Mile 1: probably 8:30 pace, nice and slow to get behind.
Mile 2.25: I started catch up after mile 1: probably 7 minute miles or faster. I don't really know because I was catching up to the iphone we were using for distance and pace.
Then the way down:
1 mile at 7 minute pace followed by a 6:14 mile and a sub 6 mile (by now the iphone was behind me).
It was a good run to get used to turnover, and to teach my body that it can move a little faster. I was a little tired from my run yesterday, thus the reason for two "intermediate" pace runs, but I think it worked out great and I'll definitely allow for a recovery run tomorrow. |
