AM: (13 miles, 1:43:25). I had to make a choice between workouts today. 15-30 min wu/15-30 min cd + either 5-8 miles @ goal pace (7:35-7:40) OR 3 x 2 miles @ 10K +/- 10 secs (6:50-7:05) w/4 min recovery. I wasn't sure which one I was going to do until I got to the track. The GP workout is more my "sweet spot" and likely to be more comfortable, while the faster workout was outside my comfort zone. Neither would be "easy" ;-). I decided that the reason the faster workout is outside of my comfort zone is because that is likely the type of workout I need to do -- so, I decided to do it! As usual, I tried not to focus on the exact pace, but rather work into a groove and hold it to the end. The last 400 was ugly - uggggllllyyyy - and I was surprised to see the pace! 7:07/7:02, 4:00, 7:03/7:00, 4:02, 6:57/6:56 + 27:24wu/26:57cd. PM: easy 4. Happy Thursday bloggers! |
