AM - Ran a hard workout with WX today, did 3x10 min pushes that were supposed to be a tad slower than race pace.
First set was on a pretty easy course, started up on the track and came around down onto the soccer field and around the parking lot. The thick grass from the field took a lot out of me, but I still hit 5:10 pace for the first set.
The course for the second set sucked a lot worse, it went around off campus to the old K-Mart parking lot where we had to run up hill the whole time. By the time we got back to the school it shot us down a steep grass hill, so we couldn't recover from all the climbing... still hit 5:30 pace, which is ok.
We did our final set on the first course, and I was able to go like 5:08-5:07 pace on this one.
Whole workout felt pretty good aerobically, when Sam asked for our heart rate I was at 10 whereas everyone else was at 13... but my turnover isn't 100% there yet. Today was the first all summer where I went that fast for that far, but regardless I think I need to do more strideouts.
PM - 4 easy
