8 x 1/2 Mile Repeats

Speed work, 8 x 1/2 mile repeats. Was cooler out than yesterday, run felt pretty good overall. Started with a 1 mile warm up at 9:38 pace, then stretched for 2 minutes, then ran for 2 minutes at 9:26 pace, then started in on the repeats. Repeats were at 7:49 pace, 7:45, 7:47, 7:55, 7:49, 7:54, 7:53 and 7:40 pace, finished with a cool down mile at 9:28. Max heart rate overall was 173 at the end of my last repeat, with averages being from 163-167 for the repeats. It was a bit of a struggle, but not too bad, looks like I've fully recovered from the Marathon.
