My training schedule is pretty easy this week. It's nice, yet it's hard to resist the temptation to keep going because I know I can. But I've been good and managed to stick to my schedule. I know in the long run it will help me.
For today's short run I bumped up my pace a good bit. I have been running my long runs at a 9 minute mile pace. It was nice to know that I could bump that up and sustain it for the short distance. I know that will help train my muscles and make me faster. For most of my run today, I ran at an 8.5 minutes per mile pace. Then for the last half of a mile I bumped it up to a 7.5 minute mile. It felt good to open it up at the end. Hopefully it's doing some good and I'll be able to improve my long run pace over time.
