Today's workout was an 8 mile progressive run starting at 6:45 and speeding up by 15 seconds every mile so our last mile would be 5 flat. Hayden and I met at first dam and ran up towards USU. Our first mile was a little slow because of the huge hill that we have to run up to get to the university. The first 4 miles felt decent, but both of our legs were dead from yesterday and running with spikes for as long as we didn't help at all. It was quite clear with how we were feeling that hitting those low 5's were going to be really hard but we both tried to push hard despite our sore legs. Our last 4 miles were a little above or a below 5:30. Still was a killer workout and I can definitely feel it in my legs. We cooled down for a mile to get 9. Am I glad to be done with that one.
