This was a tough workout and too aggressive for me to complete as scheduled. Today was a five mile run. One mile of warmup, three miles at a 9:00 pace and then a mile of cool down.
I started with the first mile at a 10:30 pace and then increased a 9:00 pace for the second mile. Not long into the second mile I realized I would not be able to maintain the pace. I ended up running the next three miles with an average pace of 10:45. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to maintain the pace I transitioned to a run, walk, run pattern. This slowed me down significantly but allowed me to get used to the 9:00 pace in 1/2 mile increments.
I finished mile five at a 12:00 pace. Total run time was 54:25.
