9-mile run: Fast and faster

This morning was one of those mornings I wish I could bottle up and sell. My legs were extra fresh since I hadn't run since Saturday's 16-miler. My plan was to do 9 miles: A three mile warm-up, three miles at 10k pace (tempo speed, I guess) and then a cool down.

I'll just let the numbers tell you how I felt.

Mile 1: 8:11 (147 heart rate)
Mile 2: 7:31 (161)
Mile 3: 7:37 (162)
Mile 4: 7:16 (169)
Mile 5: 6:48 (175)
Mile 6: 6:38 (184)
Mile 7: 6:34 (185)
Mile 8: 7;52 (174)
Mile 9: 7:29 (174)

Total time: 1:05:58. Average pace: 7:19 min/mile

My max heart rate is 201, so, during the tempo phase of the run, from Mile 4 to Mile 7, my heart rate percentage ranged from 84 to 92 percent. Amazing what two days rest can do for your legs.

Hot damn dude.

I'm lucky to drop to sub-7 @ LT pace - wouldn't come close to the 6:30's that you ran in those last 2. Great job Kev!

I need some of that stuff you wish you could bottle up. :-) I am feeling really like a bear and want to hibernate...i'm still getting out there to run, but not out of desire. ;-)
