Running Log: Wednesday, September 1 2010

Canal -> Garscube Estate (grass reps around rugby pitch, barefoot) -> Canal

3 miles warm-up, 7:00/pace
6 x 1 mile: 5.10, 5.06, 5.03, 4.58, 4.48, 4.45 (with 2:00 jog interval)
3 miles cool-down, 7:00/pace

Notes: I set out to run half-marathon pace for these reps, thinking 5:20-25; started out a bit too fast, but it felt comfortable enough; really shocked to see the times keep dropping (even though the perceived effort was similar throughout, pressing a bit more on the last one excepted); run on a firm grass surface, barefoot, with 1 mile distance/splits as taken from GPS watch
