Intervals this morning at the indoor track this morning. 5x1000 meters in 3:07-3:10 range and with equal jog rest period. Finished the workout with 6 more miles around 5:40-42/mile pace. Jog cooldown right after. As the season progresses the plan is to keep the pace up, increase the volume, all while reducing the rest interval to a minute or less. Very tough to pace and time properly as the track is a tenth of a mile in length and maybe a bit longer actually on the outside lane. Also had to contend with the usual New Years resolution herd out wogging on all lanes. Felt like Roadrunner playing a crazy game of chicken or something!!! Some people were even actually going the wrong direction.. Oh and umm yeah, it gets tight on the turns at anything faster than 5:20 pace or so. I started to feel some pain in my ankle and tibial area later on so easy days for a week or so just to be safe on that one. Stretched in the shower and raced out the door later. Darkhorse out.. |
