Big Boy Workout #4- 4X5K with 1K active rest.

I was really looking forward to this workout for the last 7 days. Last week with moving I totally bombed the breakdown session. Today I was nail the workout or bust.

Today session went really well and was my best workout by far for this marathon buildup.

Splits were

3:22;3:25;3:20;3:04;3:22 for 16:33

3:18;3:26;3:15;3:23;3:19 for 16:41

3:21;3:19;3:27;3:19;3:20 for 16:46

3:25;3:22;3:26;3:28;3:25 for 17:06

Overall avg was 3:21 per 1K; 5:23 for workout and 16:46 per 5K

Little slower on the last rep due to a couple stops. Once crossing Washington Blvd. and another at 21st. So the stop and go was a little taxing but managed.

4K warm and 2.4K cooldown.

3.10 miles on the treadmill

Sounds like you're all recovered from the move.

Do you keep in touch with John and Kristen from striders? I went in there the other day and didn't see either of them and the store was way different.

Unfortunately I don't keep in touch with either of them. As for Striders there was a huge ordeal but to make it short and I know that cat is out of the bag on this. But John was fired and so Kristin quit. This happened just a couple of months ago.

Oh wow. That stinks. Weren't they the owners? or did they sell it to another company?

They sold about a year ago.
