I slowed down

I did 5K at 9:34 and my Achilles feels good. I noticed the throbbing was present when I ran uphill. So I plan on running 9:30 uphill and 9:15 downhill on my 5K course until I feel well enough to run more than 5K. I also did some research on my interval and tempo paces. My plan of running intervals at 5K pace looks feasible but I am going to lower the distance from 5K to 2 mi, my repeat distance. I also am going to increase my tempo pace from half marathon pace to 1.08 x 5K pace. That is going to increase my pace for Vdot42 from 8:08 to 8:03. This is supposed to be for 4 mi but I will continue to run 5K tempos.
