July 4th - 4 miles @ sub 6 minute pace
24:23 @ 5:25avg @ 4.5 miles
Ran same loop as on July 1st, again hitting 4.5 miles instead of 4. This time I went out much slower, hitting between 5:50 and 6:00 pace. When I hit the turn around, I was only 4 seconds slower than my previous run, but I ended up finishing 9 seconds faster in 24:23! I was happy, my average mile dropped from a 5:27 to a 5:25 and my heart rate average was again at 177 and felt great. Ran in the morning again, since I do these on days I run twice - the second run is longer and easier while this is the faster paced one.
