10 x 150m hill repeats (~25 wu and cd, 1:11:49). Pretty good run - this is my 4th week of these and I have gone farther (and faster - though I mainly focus on strength and form) every week. I took the first 3 a little too fast and my legs were really burning the last 10-20 meters of the last ones -- but I pysch'd myself out and kept saying, "you are running the last 150 meters of a race, you're legs are burning, what do you do?? Gut it out!" Also, I read an article a few weeks ago about how patients who are having painful procedures can increase their pain threshold by counting out loud, it might be a placebo effect, but I swear it has helped me on some of my more painful runs (I did not actually throw-up today, but there were some moments where I did feel sort of sick to my stomach). It was misting rain (and about 35F), but I could tell it was Spring -- like seeing an old friend I was so happy to see the porta potty's are back at Poppington Park!! Run warm and safe bloggers |
