1:20:00 :: 13.5 miles

Volume speed. 3-4 x 2 miles at 11:05 to 10:50 with 1 mile recoveries at 6:20 pace, paying attention to changes in breathing pattern, depth of ventilations. Didn't really find a transition point in the breathing. Each rep, I would have deeper vents over the last .25 mile, but it seemed to be irrelevant of the pace. Otherwise, breathing was very controlled and rhythmic--felt like an easier tempo run at 5:28-5:30 pace, and a harder tempo run at 5:23-5:25 pace. Legs felt the same, very strong and capable, at full range of paces.
