Speedwork - 10 x 1 mile repeats (11 miles total)

We did speed work tonight with the legendary John Ferguson running us through the paces. Tonight we hit the maximum for this session: 10 repeats of 1 mile, with a 2.5 minute break between each mile. Bruce, Chris and I all targeted 7 minute miles. Here were my splits:

7:03
6:58
7:02
6:54
7:01
7:01
7:00
6:56
7:04
7:03

So the average was 7:00.2 -- close enough!

The muscles are tired -- particularly my right hip and hamstring -- but I'm smiling. Just 1 month until the Road2Hope marathon in Hamilton!
