Tempo Run

Time: 60:10
Distance: 10 miles

W/u 14:14. Woke up to hear it was raining and I knew that tempoing on the GT was not an option. Instead I opted to hit the roads of Lindsey. Tom and I had chatted about doing a controlled 5 mile progression on the GT starting at 5:40 and working down to 5:15 for the last 2 miles. I kept this in mind and hit splits of:
5:39.10, 5:31.90, 5:29.20, 5:10.24, 5:11.49 = 27:01.93

C/d 18:55. Felt good. The roads had more traffic on them than I would have liked. Started at 36th and Lindsey, headed east to 48th, turned left, ran two miles north to Robinson and turned left, ran a mile up to 36th and turned left again. Just made a big loop of it (didn't actually run the whole loop, was 1 mile short). Felt decent the first mile, good the second, ok the third, really good the fourth and hurt the fifth. Overall, it was a good workout and I got in some solid base work out on the roads alone. Hopefully I'll be prepared for a potential solo run in Japan.
