Last week it was 30 minutes and my average pace was 12:38 min\/mile. Tonight I pushed myself way too hard&#8230;. I started running at a speed of 5.5mph. Why you may ask yourself why? That is the same question that I have asked myself. The reason being is I just fancied pushing myself hard tonight to see how long I would be able to maintain this pace at. I keep thinking that I would like to be able to run 10 minute miles! I know who am I kidding at this stage&#8230; Remember the 80\/20 rule&#8230;. So in future I will cut back on the pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The worst part is&#8230; I can&#8217;t even remember how long I managed to keep up that pace for. I decided that the best option was to drop my speed.
