I did an uptempo 10k, and made one big mistake, I started way too late, at 7am, and it was blazing hot outside during the run. It was probably mid 90's by the time we were finished, as it hit 109 here in Vegas today.
The first 3.1 miles was downhill, and the last 3.1 was back uphill, out and back. I averaged about 6.12 per mile going down, i took it easy, knowing i had to come back up the hill. But the heat just really wore me out, and I averaged 6.58 per mile coming back up the hill. Total average per mile was 6.35. Ugh. Should have started at 5.30am if i wanted to be fast.
