Today is a speedwork day. So decided to try the road that I run my tempo runs on. And do my 3 x 1600 at 6:12 pace with 1 min rest. Waited till after 7 to go out with the hopes of cooler temps then last week run. Not sure why I wasnt able to hit them so well. Either it was running into the wind for those first 2 miles that made it tougher or lack of energy I am not sure. But wasn't able to hit my splits again for my speedwork again. Starting to get frustrated with it. Next week I will try my speedwork on a treadmill. Here is the splits. Mile 1 8:52 Mile 2 8:04 (some strides here) Mile 3 6:31 Mile 4 7:10 Mile 5 7:00 Mile 6 9:19 Wasn't really even close at all. I am having a hard time at faster speeds to feel confortable and finding that faster stride that I can hold for the distance. So for that reason I will try the treadmill again to get a feel for it again and maybe that will help. TT 50:28 AP 8:08
