Tempo Run

Objective: 2 mile warm up/16 mile tempo @5:40/ 2 mile cool down.

Result: 16 miles 1:27:52 (5:29 pace)
I felt very strong during this run and am very pleased with the results. I was able to attack the hills that I encountered, maintain my effort past the crest, and recover on the back side. To have this kind of control was a lot of fun. My slowest split was 5:44 (hill) and my fasted split was 5:17. My last two miles were in 10:35 (that was tough).

Weekly Goal: I have to get my mileage up over 100 for the next few weeks. I need the volume to be able to race well at Vermont City.

  2. I want to run 2:28 first of all. I would also like to be first Vermonter and maybe top 5 overall? What do you think?
