My goal is to break into the 8s with my normal route. Most of the time I just cruise. There is a lot of up and down so I can be as slow as the 10:45 pace. About once a week I get after it. Monday was as good as I’ve got……so far…..and 9:15. Not sure at my age that 8:59 is possible. We will see.My afternoon pace is dancing with just over 8. Sluggish in the morning
I was doing 3.5 at about a 10 minute pace and couldnt improve it. That's the distance i want, but not the speed. Started this shorter route and can put more into it and get the speed I want. And hope to build up the distance while maintaining the speed.My goal is to break into the 8s with my normal route. Most of the time I just cruise.

Beautiful place! I will be back home for part of the summer. Going to trail run as much as possible. VN should get together for a runI appreciate your attempt at being humble.
I’m running on the ridge in Hixson just outside Chattanooga city limits. And I’m not matching your pace …treadmill or otherwise
Hope kid feels better now!View attachment 454842
Treadmill. Kid had either the flu or COVID this past week, needless to say, not a lot of running got done.
