Notes
Ran another tempo at Waterfall Glen today and Steve came out to join me. We didn't get out quite as aggressive as I normally go out but I haven't really tempo'd with him in a few months so I wasn't sure what to expect. My legs felt pretty strong even though my breathing wasn't quite as smooth as last time. I felt fairly relaxed as we slowly ramped up the pace. I let gravity do its job on mile 5 and Steve definitely wasn't used to that kind of pace. We made it until 6 miles in before we stopped because he was hyperventilating. We took a little breather and got going again at a smoother pace. We made it another mile and a half or so until there was a water fountain for him to get some water and catch his breath one more time. We kept it smooth but honest the rest of the way. I definitely had a couple more minutes in the legs today but wanted to stay with him this time as I had no need to prove anything today. Splits were 6:13, 5:39, 5:35, 5:30, 5:09, 5:32, 5:38, 5:42, 5:39, 2:59. Would like to believe I could get close to 50 minutes by the early fall if I can keep making progress but we shall see.
