First speed workout of the year:
The idea for this workout is to do 3/4 mile repeats at your 10K race pace. Having committed to run my 10K leg at an 8:10 pace, my repeats should be 6:075. Ideally you run a one mile warm-up and then do up to eight repeats once you get rolling.
Yesterday, I did only three repeats so as not to overdo it on the first day. The first was 6:06, and I felt good so I pushed it a little and did a 6:00 followed by a 5:55.
