The plan was 2 mile warm-up then 5 miles @ 5:40 AP then no rest and straight into 5 Miles progressive going 5 seconds faster each mile then 2 mile cool down. I did 2 miles warm-up then 5 miles @ 5:35 AP then I messed up the progressive part by going 5:15 on the first mile of the progressive. So on that part of the workout I ended up going 5:15, 5:15, 5:22, 5:23, 5:12.  Then did 2 miles cool-down.

So it didn't go exactly as planned but I was happy with the workout 5:26 average for 10 miles with no rest at all and going much faster for the 2nd half then the first half was great!  The idea behind the progressive was to help me go faster at the end of my races as I have not been pleased with my finishing strength in my races so far.  I was happy that my last mile was my fastest.  The progress is starting to slow down which I knew was going to happen, but there is still noticeable progress from a few weeks ago.  

The conditions were great outside this morning.

Think of it as a half and half progression instead. Either way, its a solid run.
