SugarHouse Park
I was a little short of time today, but I still wanted to get a set of miles in. I knew I would not have time for 4, but 3 was in the cards. After a short warm-up and some strides, I was set. The first mile started and I felt pretty good, relaxed and comfortable, I hit the hill on the far side of the park and it felt pretty easy. I wanted to stay relaxed and just run through the mile and let the time take care of itself. (Mile 1: 5:31) The second mile has the net gain of elevation with the big hill near Sizzler. I was feeling pretty frisky and took off, unfortunately my garmin clicked off the mile way toooooooo early. I would like to think I covered the mile in 4:00, but even I am not that naive. I kind of pieced together my time to be about 5:35. The recovery time was 2.5 minutes. I was hoping to run under 5:30 for number 3, but I did not want to feel like I was suffering to do it. I approached the hill on the back side and again just cruised up to the top, I felt very fluid and relaxed and pushed through to a 5:29. I am a little disappointed that I did not plan my schedule better to allow for another rep or two. Today was the most relaxed I felt since I started doing this set. |
