Time 15:45

Pace 5:16

Sean paced me during this run. At first I wasn’t as impressed with this fartlek as I was when I did a 15:39. But then I went back and looked at my 15:39 and then I looked at this run a little more closely. I did 5 sub 5 minute pace 30 sec splits when I did the 15:39. I actually did 11 on this run. The pace according to the Garmin was exactly the same at 5:16. After looking at the data a little more closely I believe that this was my best fartlek ever.

Sean convinced me to run the Pumpkin Run this Saturday. Hopefully this run portends of good things to come.
