This morning I ditched my scheduled Tempo Run and opted for interval runs of 500 meters instead. The idea was to see if I could do these short bursts at my goal pace of 5'55" (the pace I need to maintain if I want to complete 10K under an hour) and to accustom my body to running at that pace.
Well that was the idea. The execution was another story. I started the first 500 meters as a warm up and managed that at a steady pace of 6'05". Then followed 3 sets of 500 meters all of which was inconsistently paced, done at inconsistent efforts and way faster than 5'55". It was definitely fun but as a training run goes, I'm not sure if it was very effective towards my goal. I think I should stick to my original plan of doing tempo runs where week-wise I gradually work my way up to goal pace. I feel like I am in better control of my pace that way.
The good news is that my app seems to be back to working well. Routes are being tracking correctly now. :-)
