The total time doesn't tell the whole story for this log entry. The goal was to warm up, do a 4 mile tempo run at 7:15/mile pace (which is only 14 seconds/mile slower than my fastest 5K time), and then cool down. I didn't make the goal time, but my excuse is the wind. Motionbased shows the wind at 18.4 mph, and that's what it felt like. My splits looked like this:
1 mile split @ 7:24
2 mile split @ 7:22
3 mile split @ 7:36
4 mile split @ 8:11
The tail end of mile 3 and most of mile 4 I was running straight into that wind. I think I could have been close to overall goal time on a calmer day. So for this tempo run my goal was 4 miles at 7:15/mile and I ended up with 4 miles at 7:38/mile.
