Scheduled to do Daniels' "TL" workout, meaning threshold and long run. Amounted to 2x10-12 minutes at threshold pace, with 2 minutes recovery in between, then 60 minutes easy running. I decided to jog over to Weber High's track, do the 2x on the track where I could closely monitor the pace and distance for each set. I figured I'd do 2x10 mile, with the goal to be under 10:32 for each two-mile set. Legs were a bit fatigued from running so late last night, but not too bad. First set, 10:29. Two minutes recovery flew by, but it was easy to get back into the rthythm for the second set. Pushed the last 400 a little, finished in 10:25. Jogged a recovery lap, then jogged home. Still need to get in 40 minutes or so to get the 60 minutes, but need to finish homework assignment for tonight's class. Will try to get out after class when it cools off.
I believe having a blog will help anyone who wants to get better. Not that a blog itself will help one run faster, but there is strength in analyzing workouts and tweaking them to improve. To James in Logan, no, I don't believe we've met, but yes I recognize you from several of the races. Good luck in your training. |
