I was going for

a mile warm-up +

a 2 mile run at tempo pace (7:41/mile; which is 40 minute race pace) +

a mile cool-down.

Got the warm-up mile done at 8:43/mile. 

Did the two mile workbout tempo portion at 7:36/mile!! 

The two miles came easily enough.  I paced myself wisely. 

The cool-down was an 8:24/mile.

There is no doubt in my mind – I am recognizing what holding faster paces feels like across longer distances by doing the 800s, 1000s, and 1600s. 

A workout that I recently came across I am wanting to try:

2-3 x 2 miles at 7:41/mile with 3 minutes Recovery!  Throw away the 1600s!

Time constraints today – otherwise I would have done that workout.
