8.73 mile Tempo Run Targeting 8:20's out and 7:25's back...

We did a repeat of our tempo run 2 weeks ago (which went extraordinarily well for me) and so Bernie and I decide to step it up a bit for this one -- 8:20's out and 7:25's back. Here are our splits:

8:17
8:13
8:10
8:21
8:17 (pace, 0.37 miles)
7:21
7:21
7:19
7:30
7:34 (pace, 0.36 miles)

Average pace for 4.36 miles back was: 7:23 (4:35 per kilometre), which is just a bit better than what we were targeting. But I was really struggling for that last 0.36 miles (after barely getting through the Harris Park hill!

Total time: 1:08:19 for 8:73 miles (7:50/mile pace)
