11mi w/ 6 @ LT
Went for my lactate threshold training run tonight. Felt pretty good after my day off yesterday. Even though my half-MP is 7:48, I ran at 7:36 last week, so I thought I’d aim for that again.
~2.5 miles warmup: 21:00
1: 7:37
2: 7:14 (stopped mid-mile at a traffic light – didn’t turn on watch til through light. But a break always makes me faster after!)
3: 7:34 (stopped at turn-around point to catch breath)
4: 7:31
5: 7:39
6: 7:34
avg: 7:31
~2.5 miles cooldown: 20:49
Almost completely even splits: 43:25 to 43:33
I wasn’t even thinking about the fact that this weekend (Hood to Coast) is basically going to be lactate threshold running as well. Oh well!
