This morning I was pushed for time (I only had an hour) so I decided to run tempo/fast aerobic. A slight change of plans. Another factor was the relatively low humidity. I decided to run tempo miles instead of a continuous run. I did 4 x 1600 meters (or one mile) on the track with very little rest (just enough to drink some water). My times were 7:28, 7:24, 7:22, 7:18. I don't think my heart rate ever went over 150 bpm. So it was a good effort but well within myself. I concentrated on a smooth efficient stride. I want to build that workout to 10 x 1600 meters or 1 mile and gradually work the times down to 6:30/mile.

Later today I hope I can get out for an easy hour run.
