Getting There,But A Ways Still To Go Yet

My second crack at 3x2 mile repeats and hopefully an improvement on my debut two weeks ago(11.08.4.-12.28.8.-12.26.1.).
Conditions were sunny and low 80s when I arrived at trusty old Temple track around 10.30am,again I'd timed this repeat to mirror the time I expect to run the 10,000m at Nationals in a fortnites time,all indications lead me to believe we'll go off between 10am and 11am,it still remains to be seen how many age groups they have to combine,my guess is 6 as the last time I checked the entry list for the 10,000m read:
M30-34 0
M35-39 2
M40-44 4
M45-49 6
M50-54 12
M55-59 6
I guess w/ Worlds all done and dusted tomorrow attention will turn to Nationals and Berea and my guess is by this time next week we'll know for sure.

Mile warm up,by in large I had the track to myself this morning....which is a big help w/ 24 laps to run!!!
Armed w/ my split button this time there'd be no not recalling lap splits this time around.

#1 2 miles 1.23.-1.27.-1.24.-1.26.-1.26.-1.23.-1.26.-1.22.-11.21.2.A good start,consistent splits which was always going to be clutch,came through the mile in 5.42.8.not as brisk as my opener 2 weeks ago but hopefully not a 1.20 drop off on #2......

#2 2 miles 1.25.-1.27.-1.30.-1.28.-1.28.-1.29.-1.27.-1.27.-11.40.9.More of the same,while no where near top end speed I feel in time I'll get there,it be interesting to see what kind of splits I rack up in August,September,October?5.52.0.for the opening mile and a 48 second improvement on my last set of 3x2s

#3 2 miles 1.28.-1.31.-1.29.-1.29.-1.32.-1.30.-1.30-1.13.-11.46.2.No that's not a typo,I closed in 1.13.!!!!(see what happens when you watch a bunch of Alberto Cova 10,000m races on You Tube!!)
I was really pleased w/ this final repeat,I knew from the get go my legs were feeling a little heavy so I was pleasantly surprised to clock a 1.28. lead off lap and though it was no major surprise to see some 1.30,1.31,1.32 splits creep in I have no real qualms w/ how I ran,in time I'm looking to not only erase any thing above 1.29 but also start working my way towards 1.25 per lap and eventually 1.20....and below if I'm lucky.

Overall this was a marked improvement on 2 weeks ago,last time out I came through the mile splits in 5.34-6.06-6.26-today went 5.42.8.-5.52.0.-5.59.4.
Somewhat frustratingly it'll be a month b4 I get to revisit 3x2 mile repeats,it'd seem to fly in the face of things to do another next Saturday a week b4 Nationals,and then the week after Nationals I have the Track Pentathlon on Sunday so all things being equal Sat August 13th(the kick off to the new Premier League season!!)b4 I get to see if I can continue to reduce my times,mid August thro late October should see a weekly effort on Saturdays minus a few races I have on the calender.
Nice easy 6 miler to round out the week tomorrow.
