Notes
Sitting around on a Saturday morning and I wanted to run, so I went out and got to it. My plan out the door was to run 2 miles at a moderate pace (something around 9 m/m) and really work on turnover rate.
Well, once I got started I felt pretty good and was really moving. Somewhere around .75 into the run I decided to just run a mile and see what my pace was so that I could get a good handle on how my turnover was affecting my time. Got finished and looked at my pace and saw that I had just run a mile in under 7:30. Fastest mile I've ever run, and I wasn't falling over dead at the end.
I'm not sure how long I could sustain that tempo, though, in a race like a 5k. I probably could have gone another half mile or so this morning.
