Had some fun with the treadmill tonight:
1 mile warm-up @9:40
1 min pickups, then 2 min easy for 2 miles (pickups started at 8:00 then progressed by 10 seconds until the last pickup was at 6:53)
800 meter cool down @ 10:00
I figured if I'm going to get any faster, I need to spend more time in the 7:00-8:00 minute mile zone when doing harder workouts. I feel as if I successfully accomplished speed workouts in 8:00-9:00 minute mile zone this fall, it's time to move on up. In fact, when I was in the 8:00-7:30 zone tonight, it didn't feel as hard as it did a few weeks ago. I also ran the last mile of a 5 mile run last week in 7:23. It's been a while since I've been there. And damn, it felt good.
