Tonight was our "TEST #2"
Test #1 was back on January 15th, and we repeated it tonight to see how much we have improved since then. We've been doing 6 weeks of hill training which makes you stronger and faster.
The test consisted of fast 1 Mile Repeats. You run a mile fast, then recover for a half a mile. Repeat.
The goal is to run these as fast as you can. They aren't sprints, because you can't really hold a sprint pace for a mile. The pace should be just under a sprint. The other important part is to be able to run the subsequent miles within 15-30 seconds of you first one. Consistency is important too.
Well, for TEST #1 my 2 miles were at 8:15 & 8:20.
Tonight for TEST #2, my 3 miles were 7:29, 7:40, & 7:45!
I'm very happy with those results.
