Happy February! Warm weather can't be too far away now.
Ran 5 miles in 35:50. Today's assignment was to run the usual warm-up mile then do eight 1/4 mile intervals, each separated by a one minute recovery. I ran the first two intervals at 10.0 mph (6:00 min mile pace), the next two intervals at 10.1 mph (5:56 min mile pace), the next two at 10.2 mph (5:52 min mile pace), and the final two at 10.5 mph (5:42 min mile pace). Though tired, it felt good and I was not hammered afterwards.
Which reminds me, whenever you finish any type of workout it is important that you quickly bounce back in your energy level. I'm not saying you would go run another 5 miles, but you would be feeling pretty good. If a person is just dragging after a workout it means they have worked out too hard. And just to be clear, I am not talking about the second you are done with a workout. But within 10 minutes (or less) you should be back to good energy levels and the feeling should continue to improve.
