AEROBIC BUILDER: 2x4-MILES

I met up with Ben, Bret, Dave, and Jason at 21st Pond for the weekly builder. The plan today was only eight miles and to break it into two sets of four miles. On paper this sounds easier, but in practice I actually prefer not to stop (throws me out of my rhythm). I ended up with a 5:10 average on the first set (which is the quicker half of the route: slight tailwind and slight downhill) and a 5:13 average for the second set (slight uphill and slight headwind). The effort was quite a bit more on the second set than the first even though it was slower.

The other guys all seemed to have very good runs this morning. They are getting quicker with each week and looking great.
