Personal:

My name is Eugenio I was born near Rome, Italy, in 1972 and lived there for 29 years, then in 2001 I moved to Salt Lake City for work and for seven years and one month that was my home, since 2008 I am back to Italy. I started running in 2003 when I realized I could not ride my bike throughout the Utah winter.

Speed workout. 8X800 with 2minutes recovery jog. It took me 5k to warm up and not feeling freezing and then I started. This time my pace never went above 3:10 and the AP at the end of the 8 repeats was 3:04 with the last four faster than the first 4. The total average pace for the run, including the warm up, was 4:46.

I am feeling confident that on a flat terrain I can do the same workout under 3:00.

I wish it was a LT run but it was in reality a speed workout. I started with a 5k warm up and then I started a 5k continuous run at 4:10/k. I finished with 4:08 AP, so overall it was not bad, but it was a 10k effort, not an HM effort. 2k at the end to cool down. It was cold (below freezing) but the road was dry and I had no problems with traction.

After 4k and 2k of rain, meaning wet and cold, I packed up and went home. I did 30 minutes on the bike trainer and then had dinner.

This morning we had sub freezing temperatures, but the sun was out and the sky was blue, as added bonus I had company. My running buddy wanted to do an easy 10 miler and I couldn't agree more. My legs were tired and heavy, two speed workout in a week are a lot for my old body. After he stopped I did 3.1 more miles at 5:00/k to finish an HM. I had heavy legs until the end.
