A new and different combo workout today. From Running times I did two sets of 6/5/4/3/2/1 min intervals at Marathon Pace for the six-minute interval on up to 3K pace for the one minute. One minutes of jogging at 7.3 mph recovery and four minutes at 7.5 mph in between sets. "Rustbuster" was a good term for this workout.

Very tough long run outside. Windy but relatively warm so I was a bit overdressed. Lots of hills around Pomeroy and out to Norris and over to Glendale. Average pace 8:00 and pretty exhausted.

Interesting medium long run on treadmill with on/off segments around GMP and final mile at GMP. 2 x 10 segments of 1:00 at 8.8 mph and 1:00 at 8.0 mph with 20 minutes at 7.5 mph recovery in between. On/off segments were GMP - 12 seconds and GMP + 25 seconds. Felt very easy.

This workout was a learning experience. I elevated the back of the treadmill so I could do some decline running. The workout was supposed to be two miles of decline at tempo pace - 8 seconds then two miles of level tempo and then 3 x 1200 at 5K pace. For whatever reason, I was winded earlier than I thought. I think the decline experience was a good learning tool. I ended up with one mile at -3.5 degrees and 9.6 mph, one mile at level tempo (9.4 mph), half mile at decline (9.5 mph) and 1.5 miles level tempo. Then recovery quarter and 3 x 1200, but 1200s interrupted by potty issues and oxygen debt. Overall a good warning not to go out too fast in Boston on the downhill early section.

Medium long run on the treadmill. My left hamstring was a little fragile Sunday and Monday, so I kept it slow at first, but it was feeling better during the run. First five miles working up to 7.5 mph, next five miles at 7.5 mph and final five miles at MP (8.5 mph) Overall average of 7:46 per mile.
