WORKOUT

Met with Jon, Riley, Dave, Denver and Matt at Smiths. We all did the first couple of miles together then split to do our workouts. Matt, and Denver was doing a 5 mile progression tempo and Riley helped pace them. Dave was just going easy. Jon and I proceeded to do 2X3 mile Fartlek workout.

Goal was to run alternating 90/75 for quarter mile. Rest was 3 minutes in between sets.

Splits- 87,75,85,77,88,78,85,77,88,79,86,76 Total time 16:30 5:29 avg

2nd set- 88,76,88,75,90,77,89,81,87,81,89,72 Total time 16:41 5:33 avg

Great overall workout. Felt strong for the most part, had some slower splits do to a pretty nasty headwind coming from the east. Glad I nailed the easy portion of the workout. That part seemed to be the hardest coming off a quick 400, the body naturally wanted to rest but had to still give a solid effort.

Total Mileage for the morning- 11.05

Great workout Ben! It was tough with that wind. You just need Riley in front of you breaking wind!
