Blake Bennions running

Walked to the track and started running but called back home to help with an angry baby pretty quick.

Warmed up 2 miles and then ran 5x1000m and ended with a quick 400m. My splits were perfect but I took a little extra rest time towards the end of the workout. The splits were 3:26, 3:24, 3:24, 3:25, 3:25, 67.

If I could get my breathing figured out this pace would feel really good, so I probably just need to take my asthma medicines regularly and do more breathing exercises. The last 1000m actually felt the best so that's a good sign. The 400m felt pretty hard but really smooth, my goal was under 68 so that was perfect.

I noticed when I was running the 1000ms that the pace felt great outside of when I needed to take deep breaths, and then when I had to take those deep breaths my form got interrupted and it threw off my rhythm. Good I have something to learn how to fix.

First 2.25 were really slow trying to keep my heart rate at in my garmins easy zone, so they were like 8:30/8:40. Then I ran 10x10 shuttle run. After that I ran 4 miles at goal marathon page and cooled down a bit. Felt a little sore today.

Warmed up a couple miles and then did 400m in 67, 300m in 45, 200m in 28.2, 100m in 13.5, 400m in just under 64. I was going to do 2nd repeats of the 300 200 and 100m but I ran out of time. It was 85 and humid and I was trying to get full recovery between each rep so that was tough. Cooled down back home.

My goals were 65-67 for the 400s, sub 45 for 300m, 28 for 200m and 14 for 100m. So it went pretty well. Also did a couple 10x10m shuttle runs and a couple sprint starts yesterday during a walk. Probably good I ran out of time because I was a little sore before todays workout and especially after that last 400m was getting pretty tired. My form probably would have deteriorated on any additional reps.

8.5-12 easy tomorrow morning.

Ugh heat and humidity got to me today. I got out way too late and it was mid 80s and quite humid the whole run. I also stopped and mowed for 20 mins after the first 5.2 miles. I stopped in the shade a few times during the run to cool off. Not exactly the easy long run I had planned.

Tomorrow I'll just a short recovery run, I was going to try to do 6-10 but I think I should adjust to either a day off or shorter recovery run. I'll see how I feel though.
