Easy Progressive to MP to HMP pace work... Evening: Very busy with work this morning and had no time get in my workout planned for today. Got some really good sleep last night. I was able to finally get out around 7:30 tonight and do my workout. Horrible time to do a workout but got it done and hope to continue building from these type of workouts. The speed is just not coming quick enough. I don't know what to think but it is very frustrating to say the least. My back is very tight right now. It has been pretty sore and tight for a week now. This is a little worrisome because I have broken my back before and it was doing 800 meter repeats. Don't want to go through that injury again so I need to just be cautious and remember that deposit workouts are what I need to focus on. My attention to detail is mainly for me to look back on and see how I am progressing as the year goes by. I hope that I can just keep clicking off improvements. My mind and breathing was fantastic tonight. My legs felt pretty good too. I think I could have done stronger splits had my back not been a problem. Splits: 7:45, 7:22, 7:11, 7:08, 6:55, 6:40, 6:25, 5:57 with 2.3 very easy miles CD. The goal was to go longer but my back was not having it. I picked it up on mile 8. It felt more like a threshold mile than a HMP tempo but I am glad to have got the pace miles in. I am going to try an ice bath and see if this will help my back. I don't need an injury right now...but then again who does... |
