11 mi in 1:24:50
10 x 800m on the BHS track after 1.9 mi warm on the roads. Felt really great today. Quads still a little tight during the warmup but all systems were go on the 800s. All the repeats were relaxed and fluid with good form. Had to concentrate/push a little on some of the curves to keep from slowing and had to concentrate on the last repeat but it wasn't too hard. Didn't actually have to push on any of them except for maybe the last 50m on about 3 of them, including the last one. Target was 3:05/800. Splits were 3:09, 3:09, 3:05, 3:06, 3:04, 3:06, 3:06, 3:03, 3:03, 3:05 with about 2:35 recovery at 9:10 pace in between. Average was 3:05.6 per 800. I think I'm ready for the Marathon.
