1 mile warm up.

3 min at 10k pace, 1 min recovery, 2 min at 10k pace, 1 min recovery... repeat for about 6 miles.

1.5 miles cool down.

I had trouble finding my 6:29 goal pace.  Intervals ranged from 6:16 to 6:27 on trail with patches of snow and ice and 6:49 to 7:13 on the un-groomed, lumpy-snow covered sections of trail. Heart rate during intervals was 171 to 173bpm (after the first two).  My recovery heart rate was 162 to 166 bpm.  This workout wore me out.

It wouldn't wear you out if you didn't run so stinkin' fast!!!!!!

I can't believe you can run that fast on trails. Wow!!! You should run the Mid Mountain Marathon. You'd probably win.

The fact that you are doing speed work on the terrain that you are is very impressive. The pace is irrelevant, it is the effort that counts and you are definitely putting in the effort.

Actually I was just running on the Jordan River Parkway. After about 10th North the trail is not plowed. And the pavement ends a bit beyond that. But there is no elevation change.
