Time Trial - Day #7

 The results of Monday's Time Trial are shown below:

Tuesday, Day #8 will be an EASY day for all.  Each of you will be given your training pace times based on the Time Trial results which will include an EASY pace time that you are expected to use on days like today.  EASY pace might by described as a comfortable, conversational pace run at approximately 2/3 of your race pace. These EASY pace times will change over the course of the season based on race results.  For some of you this EASY pace may seem slow, however it is essential for recovery. The slower pace ensures that. In order to perform your best on the more stressful, hard, workout days, the EASY day provides the opportunity to (literally) work out the soreness created by the more intense workout you've just completed.  It's a cycle that is repeated many times over the course of the season.  We'll continue the process today at 2:30.
