Today we had a 10 mile progressive pace run. This means that we run 10 miles and each one is 15 seconds faster. The last few miles were to be at 10K goal pace. I tried my best, but as we started I felt unable to catch my breath and was huffing and puffing. However at the beginning I matched my expected times. Yet at the end I had nothing left. I need to continue to build up my stamina and endurance.
