Weekly workout this week was 5x1000s. My goal pace was the same pace as my 800s the week before. Today, my target was 3:53.
I did a two mile warm up, saw a nice big rattler snake crossing the path, that was lovely.
A couple strides at Beus Pond to start, then onto my 1000s. I was perfect on my first two 3:53, 3:53, 3:55, 3:48. My 4th one, I thought I was falling off pace so I kept pushing harder and harder and then I spent all the rest of my energy on that one. It ended up being my fastest one. But because I told myself beforehand that I was going to do 5, I started my 5th one anyway and was slow from the get go. I was dry heaving by the 800m mark, so I stopped for 5 seconds, then I got mad at myself for stopping, and finished the rest of the 1000. I didn't really count my 5th one because I stopped. Oh well, hopefully I'll be smarter next time and try to run even. I feel like it's hard to find a rythum these days with these intervals I've been doing the last few weeks. I feel like I'm an amateur.
