I ran 7 miles in 51:21. I ran most of it at 8.1 mph (7:24 min/mile pace), increasing it to 8.6 the last .25 miles of mile 5 and 6. Then I increased it by .1 mph each .25 miles of the last mile, finishing out the last 100 meters at 11.0 mph (5:27 min/mile pace).
After my race on Saturday, and needing to not lose sight of the Ogden half-marathon on May 21, I just have to keep up the intensity. I also want to finish the Ogden faster than I did the SLC half, and my body has to get used to the increased intensity with little time to do it in. Today called for an easy 7 miles, and I just wanted to see if I could increase the "easy" from 7.7 mph (which I had been doing) to 8.1. Worked well today.
