I stayed awake too late after Tuesday night O-lift at the Academy, so I did not join my usual early-morning group for today’s scheduled six-mile mid-tempo run, which is the first time we have run this far at mid-tempo pace. Instead, I took advantage of the fact that today’s workout of the day (WOD) at the Academy is a 5-k run and joined the 1830 crew for that.
My modification: when I was done with the 5-k, I turned around and ran another 5-k. I completed the double in 43:55, a pace of 7:05 per mile. My target pace was 7:10 per mile, so I did OK except for one thing: I plan to drop my marathon goal from 3:20:00 to 3:15:00. The mid-tempo pace for that finish is an even 7:00 per mile, which I did not hit. 🙁
