PM: 6 miles easy
I met up with Liam at the Golf Course, and we jogged to the Duke Football Stadium. I'm 99% sure this is the only football team in the ACC that still has a track around it, just like in high school. It still felt cool working out in a big stadium. We had cooler weather this morning, though it was still stupidly humid.
The short rest (1:20-1:25) for this workout made it tough. It wasn't aerobically that taxing, but the legs felt downright heavy in the last two reps. The plan was to start at date 10-mile race pace and work down to goal 10-mile pace. I accomplished that much, though Liam totally blew my doors off on the last one, taking us out in :73. He pretty much kept that pace. I did not.
Splits: 5:18, 5:17, 5:15, 5:12, 5:10, 5:10
After my first day of classes at Duke, I went for a shake-out near me to a local high school (Durham Academy). I discovered that they have their own XC course, and since it's about a mile from my apartment, it will be a perfect place for shakeout runs.
