Commentary:
Rode in to work today. For the running class, we warmed up with a slow jog over to the 400m oval at the park then did intervals. There's actually a semi-oval (more egg shaped) walking path that's exactly 400m. Guess the designer was a runner.
Although not the fastest in the class, there were a couple of the guys that were falling off at the end and not hitting their goals. I was happy to see I kept a pretty even pace at that pretty fast 6:15-6:25 pace. Even splits throughout was my goal. I could have done a few more intervals and/or done these a bit faster since I was feeling relatively strong today, but will call this my quality workout before the 5k on Saturday. This was a workout I needed to get feeling better after a couple of blah days this week. Tomorrow and Friday will be easy runs with probably biking to work. |
