Last Wednesday, August 22 I had a really great workout. It was 8 X Mile with 2:30 rests right around threshold pace. I split 5:06, 5:00, 4:59, 4:56, 4:59, 5:03, 5:01, 5:01. The short rest was really great to get my confidence up. I feel like 5:00 pace is getting "easier," and the more sub 5:00's I hit the easier it becomes. I hit 92 miles for that week, and did another 20 mile long run on Saturday in 2:14.
This week I am tapering the mileage down somewhat(probably in the 80s) and am racing the Kentlands 5K on Saturday morning. I did a tune-up workout today of 1600, 800, 400, with full recoveries(3-4 minutes). The 1600 I hit 4:39, which was great! My first sub 4:40 mile in a workout. The 800 was 2:19, and the 400 was a 67. I didn't want to go much faster in pace as the distance got shorter in order to save my kicking legs for a strong tune-up race this Saturday.
