Hanging In There

I took Monday off from racewalking though I did do strength training. With the speed work on Saturday and the long walk on Sunday I didn't want to stress out my body and my left knee was feeling just a little tight. Everything was fine this morning so I started slow and kept ramping up the speed.

Mile 1 - 13:23                     (8:19 min/km)
Mile 2 - 12:46                     (7:56 min/km)
Mile 3 - 11:57                     (7:26 min/km)
Mile 4 - 11:40                     (7:15 min/km)
Mile 5 - 11:21                     (7:03 min/km)
Mile 6 - 11:16                     (7:00 min/km)
Total Workout -  1:12:26
Average Pace  -    12:04 min/mile  (7:30 min/km)

This time I was able to do consistantly faster miles, but I didn't reach the speeds that I was doing last week. Still, the average was a good training pace for my current ability.
