Faster is not always better..

My goal for my run today was to increase my pace per mile and hold that pace for the entire run. Keep in mind that I always try to do this but torwards the end my run..usually the last two miles I tend to increase my pace. For example my normal pace is about an 8:40 mile. I would normally have no problem holding that pace for my whole run. At times I have increased that to a 7:50-8:00 mile. Sometimes it's no problem other times it just leaves my legs sore.

Today I held my 8:40 up to the last mile. From there I increased it slightly to 8:25. Not too bad.

Today's stats:

4 miles at a time of 34:50 minutes. Another 1/2 mile after that at a 10 minute mile pace as a cooldown.
