quarters

Fartlek today was 4 X 1/4 mile at 7 min pace in the middle of a 6 mile run. Didn't take much rest between the quarter miles, probably only about 1/10 of a mile between each repeat. I still need to get my lifting and my core work in today, but that probably won't happen until tonight. It feels good to stretch my legs out at a little bit of a faster pace than usual. 7 minute pace doesn't sound like much, but my speed will improve with time and this pace is perfect for me right now. I feel good about how my training is coming along. I'm not in a rush, my training plan is 20 weeks long so I have plenty of time to work myself into racing shape.
