19 miles - 1,540 ft. up and down - 7:14 average

I have been contemplating this run ever since Josh, Adam, and I ran our 5k time trial across 11th Ave. and down into Memory Grove.

The goal was to run a couple loops in the avenues east on 2nd Ave. to Virginia. North to 11th. West on 11th and down Memory Grove back to 2nd.

I wanted to run 2 miles on the first loop at 6:30 starting at the fire station on 11th and ending on the road into Memory Grove. I didn't have a pace goal for the non-tempo miles, just to keep a decent effort but rather easy. I then wanted to see if I could do the same 2 miles a little faster on the second loop on tired legs.

The first loop went well and I decided to extend to 2.5 for the tempo.

6:24, 6:27, 3:12

The second loop my legs felt a little heavy going up Virginia but the tempo turned out well.

6:16, 6:12, 3:05

I decided if I was going to test my legs I better go round three. I had to work the second half of the tempo but overall the results are pleasing to me.

6:03, 6:01, 3:01

Good work, strong week.

You're slightly insane in the best of ways. I'm impressed that you dropped the pace each loop. V Street has a way of sapping energy from the legs. Awesome run!

Always tough going up V street! This is a great endurance builder at a nice pace solo. Great week for you.
