Ran today - just needed something to do before scheduled training starts tomorrow.
Did 4 miles at the Rails2Trails. 4 miles in 36:53 = avg 6.5 mph
I tried REALLY had to take it very slowly on the 1st mile, then pick up the pace for #2, and pick up a little more on #3 and #4:
Mile 1 = 10:54 ... avg 5.5 mph
Mile 2 = 9:30 ... avg 6.3 mph
Mile 3 = 8:31 ... avg 7.0 mph
Mile 4 = 7:52 ... avg 7.6 mph
That last mile felt like I was really pumping pretty hard at times.
I read an article on the importance of negative splits, so I may try to incorporate that into my runs more.
Tomorrow I bike and swim. The more I look at the schedule, the more it looks like it's paced too slowly, but I have to force myself to trust those with more experience than me, and not let my ego get in the way.
