I rgot up this morning and headed out to Osborne's Corner to meet up with the SF boys. I decided that I wanted to do some tempo miles today, instead of 3min repeats. I stopped and stretched at the corner and then started my first 5k tempo. I wanted to do the first one at 10k pace and then the second 5k at MP. 10k pace tempo splits mile 1 - 6:02 mile 2 - 6:00 mile 3 - 5:48 mile .1 - 35.13 (5:38 pace) total time for 3.1 18:24 (5:56 ave pace)
I jogged a mile and ran down into Canyon View Park for a drink and then started the second 5k at the start line of the speedy spaniard. I wanted this to be between 6:30 adn 6:45. This has a good mile of uphill to start with and then some down and then flat for a good mile. MP 5k splits mile 1 - 7:01 mile 2 - 6:27 mile 3 - 6:16 mile .1 - 38.56 (6:19 pace) total time for 3.1 20:22 (6:34 ave pace)
For some reason the second one seemed harder than the first. I think that maybe I took to long of a break in between the first and the second one. I should have only jogged for 3-4 minutes? I finished the last 5k on dairy road and so I had about 3.5 miles to get home. I really need to remember to put some water and GU out on monday nights before a hard work out. Claves are still pain free, so I hope that they continue to stay healthy so that I can race well on the 24th!
