Thursday tempo time

Today was a 75-minute acceleration tempo workout. I started with 10' of heart rate at 135-140, then 10' at 140-145, then 10' of 145-150, then 10' of 150-155, then 10' of 155-160, and finally 18' of 160+. Then I did a 7' cool down for a total of 75'. Whew. I was really fast today - no surprise, given the high heart rates I had to maintain. The whole workout was 7.65 miles (SugarHouse and Liberty Parks) and took me 1:14:52; average pace 9:47 per mile, and that included the slow stuff!

Yesterday I did about 4 miles easy in about 43 minutes, before my weight training class.

Tomorrow I plan to do 4 easy miles. Saturday is the BIG day - 22 miles planned. Yikes! Hopefully it will go smoothly for me.
