Busy night, got home late from Young Men's, then decided to do one last hard workout to wake up the legs for Ogden.  I did 3 miles easy up to the substation then did my 2 mile tempo run back to La Verkin then 1 easy mile cool-down.  This is the 4th time I've done this workout and also the fastest. 

1st mile- 5:21 and at times down around 4:45 pace

2nd mile- 5:31 also dropped the pace below 5 min a few times

Everything felt really good tonight, so I just decided to push it a little harder, now the rest of the week will be very, very easy.

Nice workout. Looks like you're peaking at the right time. Enjoy your week of tapering.

Great times. So do you use tempo runs as your speed work?

From Dustin on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 10:04:24 from 204.113.48.69

Usually try to do two good workouts a week, one a tempo run the other some type of interval or track repeat 1000's or 1600's. I'm still working on trying to be more consistent, also whenever there is a race that week I usually only limit the speed work to once a week and usually early in the week. I just used the word usually like 3 time, I guess 4 now. I usually don't use that word as much.
