Intervals

I headed out to the local high school track this afternoon. (At least I get some use of all the tax money we pay.) It was my first time to run some pace intervals. The idea is run so many meters at the pace you want to run your 5k in. My goal is a 10 minute pace. So I ran 6 400m at 10 minute pace. Well I was tired. A couple of the laps were closer to 8 minute pace but they all stayed above the 10 minute pace so I was happy with that. That brings my grand total mileage of the week to a grand 5 miles. Next week I have myself scheduled for 18 miles but I think that is going to be way to big of a jump so I'll probably be paring that down.
