Easy run with 6 × 8s hill sprints

March 25, 2014 6.3 miles 59:59 9:34/mi

Nice low heart rate during the first steady five miles, which I’m pleased with.

Tempo run (4 miles @ 7:37 pace)

March 20, 2014 5.8 miles 45:49 7:56/mi

GPS was totally screwy today, putting me several hundred meters from where I actually ran, so distances and paces were totally out and I ran to heart rate. For the tempo section I was running a planned new 4 mile route, and based on split times I managed it at 7:37 overall, pretty sure it was wind assisted though.

March 10, 2014 4.0 miles 34:02 8:29/mi

First intervals for a while, so started out with a basic 4 x 800m, with 400m rest. Was aiming for 7:30 pace, but got a bit carried away and wound up at 7:15 and below. Pace felt hard but manageable, so pleased with that.
