Faster Four On Friday
Despite still being in recovery mode, I felt like a slightly quicker run today and thought seven minute mile pace might be a nice pace to aim for. As you can see if you click on the MotionBased map above, my splits were pretty much spot on – 7:00, 7:00, 7:00 and 6:58. The run [...]
