Scheduled for a Daniels' "T" workout, though I must admit I had my doubts as I jogged over to the weber high track. My hamstrings were a little fried from biking up the divide yesterday, and I didn't feel rested when I woke up. Nonetheless, it was still overcast, so I figured if I didn't at least attempt to get the workout in, it would be too easy to not do any of it. The plan was 4xmile at threshold pace with 60 seconds recovery, then an hour easy run, followed by 15-20 minutes of threshold running. I left my racing flats in Cokeville, and I wished I had them this morning--the closest I could come to them was the Nike Pegasus, which, while cushioned and comfortable they are, they are not conducive to track workouts, in my humble estimation. Anyway, my first lap was 82, and I was hoping it would be 77 or something like that, letting me know I was going faster than necessary. No such luck, so I dug down and gutted out a 5:21 for the first mile, in clunky trainers. 5:20, 5:19, and 5:19 for the rest, decided to bag it and go for the 60 minutes and 15/20 threshold this evening. I feel like a slug. |
