I am going to go for 60 this week. But today was a run with Sasha and Ben - same workout as last week. The first mile felt like less than tempo pace, forgot to breathe a few times. (5:30) The second mile got into the yellow, but not too far. I did have a little hunger because I was trying to get under 150, looks like my base muscle weight has come up 3 pounds and I will just have to deal with it. There just isn't any fat to burn. Anyway, felt a little weak there but it went away after 2.25 because it was time to push. I tried a little too hard, kind of coasted on the third quarter, and then decided to give it everything on the last. They passed me anyway but it felt good to give everything I could. (5:23, 5:13) Unfortunately not enough of the run was in the yellow or better zone to count as a sufficient speed workout for the week, so I will pace Ben in the last four miles of UV half. Maybe I will bring a 1:16 pacer sign just to look legit :)

Hey, I just reviewed this on Endomondo and I had a really good kick at the end, down to 4:45 pace or so for the last tenth. OK, sort of good :)

Dave - this was a GPS error. You would have blown past us if you had really gone 4:45. Next week we'll see what happens when you are fresh and the kick is only one quarter. Eventually we'll get this adrenal control figured out.

I think you are right, it didn't feel like I accelerated that much :)
