Race Pace

The 10K training program I'm following has me running a shorter distance once a week, at race pace. Today it was 3.5 miles. I decided again to turn off the voice feedback about pace and speed on Runtastic and just run faster than the easy pace I ran yesterday. My stats look pretty good and it appears "race pace" for me is around an 11 minute mile while an easy pace is around a 12 minute mile. How can only 1 minute/mile faster feel SO much harder? I'm learning a lot from this training, the most important lesson is that I care less about speed or pace, and more about enjoying the run!


The day was warmer today - got my sweat on!
