3 Miles @ Half Marathon pace, on track. 6 Miles total
Went down to the track at Bracknell today and, after a 20 minute warmup in my Diadora Mythos Axler's, ran 3 miles on the track at Half-Marathon effort with Rob in my Saucony Fastwitch Speed. It was wet, windy (but not ridiculously so) but ideal temperature. I ran the following splits:5:36
5:33
5:27
[16:36 Total]

All in all, it wasn't as mind boggling as I thought it might be. I just broke it down into individual laps, and once each lap was over, that was the last I thought about it. I felt mentally strong runnning the session, and the pace didn't feel at all severe, even though I lost some propulsion due to the poor traction available.
On a side note, I then ran a couple of laps cooldown in my Nike Free 5.0's. I've been walking in them since last September, so I thought it was time to give them a try a running. Suprisingly they felt like plausible running shoes (gob-smackingly nice actually)! I think I'm going to use them from now on for whenever I'm scheduled something like 3 Miles Easy AM.
Just going to go down the running club now & give them their team prize trophy & 'bask in my glory!' ;) Show/Hide this post [+/-]
