Did my Pace LAB Run this morning with Thon.
Each loop is 3.5 miles and we were running 3 loops today. The first loop was a total warmup lap and the last two were full-blown race simulator pace.
I'll go into more depth later, but the numbers say everything
Lap 1: 33:21 9:35 pace for warmup
Lap 2 and 3 combined: 48:31 for a 6:56 overall average pace for 7 miles!!!
yee haw, woo hoo and zipidee doo dah!
Here were the mile breakdowns for the 7 miles at pace:
6:58
7:06
6:59
6:50 (with a water stop included)
7:04
7:18
6:11
Looking at the last two splits, I'd say that the GPS must've had a glitch and evened itself out. I don't think we ran a 7:18 and I KNOW we weren't running a 6:11 either. It was probably somewhere in the middle for both miles.
Either way, the overall time doesn't change: 48:31 for 7 miles
6:56 per mile.
That means I definitely broke 28 minutes on a 4 mile tempo run and still managed to squeeze 3 more at a faster pace. Feels good...

You tricked me! That's not playing fair! But you didn't have the psychological ick factor of the tempo - so it doesn't actually count!
