Key Run 2 - Lactic Threshold Training

So last night the Run Less, Run Faster book came in, so we were able to read into the FIRST program a bit more. It's just the book we've been looking for I think. Scientific method, physiology, psychology, and a solid plan. We're basing this whole shebang on a 5k time of 24:00.

Time: 7:45-8:15 PM
Course: Rubberized Track, Cain Middle School
Weather: 92°, cloudy w/ 2mph wind
Totals: 3 miles @ 8:49 average pace

Mile 1 Easy @ 9:09 - Goal: 9:23
Mile 2 ST @ 8:03 - Goal: 8:00
Mile 3 Easy @ 9:13 - Goal: 9:35

I can see why things were a little tougher than I expected. We've got to slow down on our easy miles.
