Sub 8's

This week I tried my Sub 8 stradegy out and I am happy to say that it felt good both on Monday and Wednesday. On Monday I ran 6 miles averaging 7:32 per mile. My fastest mile was actually mile 6 with a time of 7:18. I was feeling so good this day even though I ended my run running uphill for a little under a mile. On Wednesday I was feeling good again so I decided to try another quick run. I tried to slow down a bit from Monday knowing that my race is this Saturday. My cardio and legs were both feeling strong and fresh. I was able to maintain an average pace of 7:39 minute miles. My fastest mile was the 3rd mile at 7:22. The greatest thing about these two runs was how strong my cardio felt. I didn't feel like I was out of breath. Hopefully as I continue to push myself even faster I will be able to strengthen my cardio that much more. This will greatly help me in my future races. Good luck to me tomorrow for my 15K race!!!
