3-2-1 Breakdown

So I wasnt able to go with the guys to do the workout this morning, due to the fact that my wife is running now and is doing STG Marathon also. So are running schedules are a juggling act until we get things figured out. Bummed that I missed the workout though, sounds like there was a group for pacing options.

Anyway I saw that Ken did a 3-2-1 breakdown and for some reason that felt like the workout for me today. So for the 3 mile I started off from last weeks fastest mile from my Aerobic Builder and went from there.

Workout

5:47; 5:43; 5:39

Easy run through pleasant view on the canal rd. Legs felt a little heavy from yesterdays workout and so I just took it nice and easy today.

TRACK WORKOUT/LADDER up/down

400-800-1200-1600-1200-800-400 

So it was really tough to get out the door to do a track workout solo. The guys were doing a workout out at 21st pond,  really wish that I could've made it happen, but when 2 people in the house are training for a marathon sacrifices need to be made. But I think the wife and I have the confusion settled and training mornings in place so hopefully no more confusion

So anyway I did the Ladder workout. Ken suggested it last week and said to stay @ 78-80 pace through the workout because it will get harder as I go. So that was the plan

Workout 

400-75 w/90 sec rest

800-2:36 w/2 min rest

1200-3:56 w/2:30 rest

1600- 5:20 w/3 min rest

1200- 3:56 w/2:30 rest

800- 2:36 w/2 min rest

400- 74 (workout done)

Warm up and cool down was 6.35 total miles 

 The whole entire run felt heavy, after a mile on the warm I was just thinking of doing a 30 min run and calling it quits for the day and hit a hard workout on Saturday with everyone, but  glad I gutted it out. Just want to know when running will feel good again, instead of feeling like work!

Met with Jon, Riley, Albert, and Jason Holt( new to the group) at the 21st pond in Ogden. Ran 3 miles with Riley and Jason then they took off to do a tempo run. Albert, Jon and I stayed back and ran roughly 6:45 avg for the run. Did a few pick ups in the last 6 miles.

Good solid week again, 60+ mileage with 2 workouts! Now hopefully I can start losing some weight quicker!

 

Ran 1 mile with my boys, going to count it!
