I wasn't planning on running today since I am headed to Deep River, CT in the morning, but I woke up and couldn't sleep so figured I go have some fun. I decided to make it into a workout/tempo hybrid. The goal was a 3.5 mile warmup, then a 1 mile, jog recovery 3-5 minutes, 2 miles, recovery 3-5 minute jog, then 3 miles, with a short cool down afterwards. I was hoping to just keep them all under 6:00 minutes per mile and speed up each mile, so it went pretty well given the meager goal. It was kind of hilly and had some streets to cross, so I wasn't sure if I should do a higher goal than that.

Workout 1-2-3

Splits are for each mile.

1 mile set split: 5:50

2 mile set splits: 5:44, 5:35

3 mile set splits: 5:57, 5:51, 5:40

Very happy with this, and hopefully will take it easy tomorrow!

Nice workout Mike! We should try to integrate something like that into a long run when you get back.

Yeah thanks! It was absolutely worth it. It felt nice that it got more challenging as I went on with the workout as the distance increased. Made the workout fly by.
