Notes
My kids were also doing a fast progression, so I skipped it this morning and ran it at the same time as them, so I could finish in time to get their overall time. I ran two loops around the park and splits were 5:27, 5:19, 35, 5:09, 5:09, 32 for an overall time of 22:11, which is just under 5:17 average. The first mile felt the fastest and I naturally increased the pace without having to really think about it. The second mile on each loop was really windy but I still felt strong. With how easy it felt, I would have liked to finish another loop but coaching duties called. Afterward, ran 4x200m with 200m jog a little faster than mile effort.
I'm looking forward to this summer when I'll have as much time as I need during this training phase during my Chicago prep.
