My cold is almost gone, so I decided to do a 10 mile time trial with my Garmin. I wanted it to be pretty fast (as close to my pb of 64 mins as possible) and ended up completing in 65 minutes and 4 seconds (average pace 6:30). Anyway, I looked at my mile splits, and I'm not sure if they are really erratic or around what one would expect. The route doesn't have any major hills or anything (+428/-372ft elevation). Anyway here are the splits. When I run I tend to just run at a pace that I feel comfortable or slightly uncomfortable. I rarely go all out and truly push myself. Maybe that's what I need to do to get average pace down to 6min/mile, which is what I need to do a sub 1 hour 10 miles.
