I got to try out my racing flats today. I am so grateful to have shoes that are actually for running. My previous cross trainers were, comparatively, like running on cardboard stacks. These shoes are grippy and feel much softer on my feet. I like them a lot. They are flexible and light.
My run today was an interval set utilizing my new TT6 score. I warmed up for 10 mins, focusing on a slower, steady warm up instead of an all-out run to start. After that, I ran 20 sets of 30/30. This interval would be at or around 7:10. My first interval was closer to 8:20, so I knew I had to go faster. I find it difficult to monitor my pace in such short intervals, so I rely on my cues from my body to tell me whether I'm going fast enough. This has proven to be slightly problematic in the past, and may have been similarly problematic today, as I seem to have exceeded my pace goal fairly significantly much of the time... whoops.
To see my data splits, you can check my Garmin site. Cool down was longer than anticipated, but that's mostly because I finished the set on the upper east side of the Reservoir, instead of near the lower west side. Much further from my house.
