I ran this on Sunday afternoon in St. Paul. The weather was cold and dry. Maybe 35 degrees but with sun. My goal was to get below the 7:00 number barrier. I ran a 10K last spring at a 7:03 pace so I thought I should be able to meet my goal. I did. My time was 33:28 for a 6:44 average pace.
The 8K race was 4.97 miles so for my last split I also have the pace listed:
Splits
Mile 1 - 6:48
Mile 2 - 6:33
Mile 3 - 6:52
Mile 4 - 6:53
Last .97 6:22 (pace was 6:34 for that segment)
My goal was 6:59's so my workouts have improved my performance considerably. I think my tempo runs helped a ton! I left some on the table but I was able to run the race just at threshold. I didn't want to run out of gas early.
I'm looking forward to running this one again next year.
