Notes
8mi fartlek run @ 7:15 - 7:45 w/bursts as fast as 6:00 - 6:15, duration building from 0:10 up to 0:30
Drizzly morning at the start, downpour in the middle and finished with decent drizzle still. Felt good though, temp wise was comfortable and really wasn't a bad way to start the day. Plan was 8 mile fartlek with 10-30 second pickups. I did one mile warm-up (more than anything, just to wake up) at about 8:30 pace and then started the pickups in the second mile. Easy paces ranged from 7:30-8 and pickups averaged from 5:45-6:45. Workouts like this are much easier for me to do in the morning than typical speed workouts- require me to be less awake!
