Tempo No. 1

Distance: Maybe 5.8 miles
Time: around 40 min
Area: Rock Island Trail

Intense run. I started off with my 15 minute warm up and felt great. Then I decided to take a breather and relax for a minute or two to get ready for my tempo runs. I started off with the .5 min run good and minute run good, but then I had to stop because I wasn't feeling well. So I took a few minutes to gather myself and then I was back at it. I started over at the .5 min run and then built and went all the way through the cycle. At the end of it I felt like I was holding back, so I decided to do 3 more .5 min runs as hard as a i could and then recover into a normal pace and take it home from there. I discovered that I need to go back to a slow jog instead of walking after my tempo segments, Its when you are the most tired that it is important to keep that good form. Overal I felt really good after the run, and had a great day. Later on I played two game of volleyball.
