LONG RUN: 3-2-1-0.5-0.25 BREAKDOWN

I met Ben at the 21st Street Pond at 5:45 a.m. and we headed out West for a long run. We did the Ben Van Beekum Special, which is 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile, half mile, and quarter mile pickups with equal distance rest in between. It's a fun workout that isn't too difficult, but breaks the run up and makes it go by fast.

Splits: 3 miles (5:24 5:24 5:20) 2 miles (5:09 4:57) 1 mile (4:46) 0.5 mile (2:18) 0.25 (1:02)
