5:49 mi

Notes

Really solid temp. Very happy with this. Went right into the workout from the 2.5mi warm up. Brought it down to 6:00 flat and kept clicking it down every once in a while. Originally I thought that I was going to do about 3mi up, and then start some fartleks. I was just feeling too good though and never wanted to back down. Hoped to get to 10mi under an hour but couldn't quite get there. A slightly faster warm up or first 1.5mi would have solved that. Felt controlled up until I got under 5:40 pace. Once I cranked it up to sub 5:30 for the last mile is when it started getting really sticky. Probably could have kept it closer to 5:45 for another 2mi. Another great installment in an overall solid week. Also, I have fallen in love with The Clash's album London Calling for workouts. Every song is perfect for running hard and that played a big role in me not wanting to take any down time in today's workout.
