Hard workout today, Daniels "T" workout. 8x1 mile @ threshold pace with 30 seconds rest. Decided I'd better do this one on the track at Weber High, and I even conned Casey Snider into doing some of it with me. Didn't know how much he'd be doing, but hoped for 2 out of 4 laps from him. My goal pace was to be under 5:20, and figured it would be a bonus if it felt easy.
1st one: 5:18, then 5:17, 5:16, 5:15, 5:17, 5:15, and 5:03. For the last one, Casey ran the 1st, 3rd and 4th laps with me, we were 77 on the first lap, 78 on the second, 77 on the third, and 71? on the last. I think that adds up to 5:03, or at least pretty close to it. Did the entire workout feel easy? No, it did not. I was a little fatigued from Saturday's run, but I think my fitness is at a decent level. We'll see how GSL 1/2 goes this weekend. It's off to Cokeville this afternoon for some high-altitude living and training.
