Ran to East Rock and began the ascent up East Rock. I should run East Rock to assess elevation.

Have 5K planned for Sunday.

allie, Hello. Did a little hill work today. Not much though. But I am looking forward to running East Rock - mountain with monument on top.

Hoping to PR at that 5K. My current 5K PR is at 7:53 pace and was set on the course I will be running Sunday.

Current strategy: Mile 1 at 7:55 pace, surge last tenth of mile one for 7:45 pace. Mile 2: 7:55 pace, surge last tenth mile for 7:45 pace. Mile 3 at 7:55 pace...all out effort last 3/10s mile. Hoping for 7:43 pace per mile...ten seconds per mile off PR!

Have no idea if this plan is logical. But makes sense to me.

sounds like a great strategy. i have never actually tried the "surging" technique but i know it has worked well for others. maybe i will have to try it. good luck!
