Today was Week 8 Day 4 of the Hal Higdon 10K Training Plan.
The weather is still overcast, humid and rather depressing. So I decided to take today’s run slow and easy and just try to focus on my form and enjoy myself. Ended up going quite a bit faster toward the end, but still felt pretty good.
Ran 2.01 miles in 20:15 (10:04/mi pace) with an average speed of 6.0 mph and a max of 9.7 mph. My 1-mile splits were 10:50 and 9:19. Burned about 300 calories.
Decent run tonight. Next up on the schedule… two rest days and a 10K on Sunday. Woo!
How was the 10k?
Hey Bill,
I ran it on Monday, and it went pretty well. Ultimately I’d like to be able to finish 10K in an hour or less, but for it being my longest run ever so far… I’ll take it. :)
