A windy day for my river route: 48 degrees, 19mph, gusts to 29.  I would have rearranged my schedule to do this one tomorrow, but it’s going to be almost as windy, and by doing it today I’ll still have my 2 easys before Friday’s tempo.  Last week I only had one day between speed and tempo and I think I prefer a little more padding.

2.25 warmup, 4 x 1mile @ 10k pace w/ 3min. recoveries, then 4.5 miles home.  I ran farther out to try and get away from the wind, but it didn’t work (thus the long cooldown).

The mile repeats went 6:57, 6:53, 6:56, 7:00
Avg. 6:56/mi. and Avg. 85% HRR, Max 89%.
Total run: 11.55 miles, avg pace 8:03.
No complaints from me today.
