My conversation with Blake

With yesterday being a rugged amount of tempo running (40min total) lets chill until the next day you feel great.

This is a combination of weather too.

Try to find a day when you really feel you can attempt this, after the next 4-6 days (today day 1) the w/o is a large block tempo of one hour to 75 mins @ 6:45-6:55.

If you feel good after 40min you can pick the pace up, but make sure you get at least 60 min.

I completely understand if you do this on the road.
I however would use the track bc it is more accurate for pace and distance.

If you do it on the track try to do it when the team is practicing bc you wil pull strength from their accountability of you.

Garmin's tell you the distance you cover, yes. But in a race it is about covereing a tangent, and that is best practiced with lines, in my opinion. Try it the next time you are on the track, and it will be slightly longer than you ran.

Anyway, for the amount of time from here until the half it is about harnessing race specificity, and that is exactly what you are doing. After the race, heading into your fall marathon, there will be time for more diverse work.

Keep it up!
