It was absolutely incredible 3 minutes=5 minute pace so I was cooking. I hit between 2:30 and 2:33 at the half mile mark on all of these. I negative split the entire workout. The coolest part is I never felt like I was killing myself to hit a certain time, rather I felt like I was running a race. It legitimately felt like race pace. On top of that I did 3.6 miles and I felt pretty dang good all the way through. I wasn't struggling on the 5th or 6th. To make this workout literally perfect I hit 5 straight perfectly paced 200's after forcing my body into pace just once. The fast felt incredible. I would of kept going had I not had been having some minor cramping. The cool down was cut short because of diet mistakes during lunch (3 bananas). Never ran so fast so easily. I've come so far, I honestly believe I'm living my dream.
If you haven't seen my state recap you should go check it out. I would call it my fast running blog master piece. I'm rather proud of it.
